Geocache Description:

This is the 12th installment of the 2014 NoVAGO Cachemas caches, and contains a clue needed to gain the coordinates for the bonus cache.  

The cache is a puzzle cache, and is not located at the posted coordinates. 



A holiday treat from all of us at NoVAGO! The 2014 Cachemas in NoVAGO Series is a 13-part journey based on the 12 Days of Christmas that will take you on a tour of Northern Virginia. From Arlington to Purcellville to McLean and beyond, happy holidays from NoVAGO to you!

Each cache in the 2014 Cachemas Series can be found individually, but make sure you collect the clue inside. You'll need it to find the 2014 Cachemas Bonus! The clue is hidden in plain sight in each container and is in the format "[+-]#.### [+-]#.###". More details can be found on the Bonus cache page.

  Solve the puzzle in the picture below, to gain the coordinates for the final location.  See related web-page.  Your solution will be in decimal degrees.  Round your answer to six places after the decimal. Then convert to standard DD MM.MMM format before attempting geocheck.


For the first stage of their performance, the NoVAGO drum line was told to make the following formation.
