Geocache Description:


NYPD? "New Year's Puzzle Delight" -- something to wile away those cold, winter nights!

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. To find he cache, you must solve the following puzzle:

Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now Prancer and Vixen! On Comet! On Cupid! On Donner and Blitzen!

It’s Christmas Eve, and Santa is having trouble with his computer. It’s too late to have it repaired, so he has to work around the problem. He is able to send the following email:

To Bobby, Adam, and Danny,

Mrs. Claus and I know you all act as good boys, and I look forward to my visit to your family this Christmas. I will study your Christmas lists and try to bring a toy, book, or gift of clothing, which will bring you joy.

I was fond of that snack you put out last Christmas. So was Rudolph. Many thanks from both of us.

Wish us good flying conditions, with no rain or fog (Although snow is all right).

Happy holidays,

Santa Claus

Santa sent this message to 3boys@aol.com. He then asked Rudolph to send a message to each of the other eight reindeer, directing them to report to work. Their e-mail addresses are Dasher@aol.com, Dancer@aol.com, and so forth. But then Santa realized that because of his computer problem, only one reindeer would receive the message. Which reindeer?

Using A=1, B=2, C=3 etc, assign a numerical value to your answer to obtain “X”. SQUARE "X" and use the LAST 3 DIGITS in the following equation to get the final cache coordinates:

N 46 31.(X - 283) W 063 30.(X - 159)
