Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at posted coordinates!!

In honor of Brandt Teske, “87Preludea20a3,” the TWELVE DAYS OF CACHEMAS ARE BACK!!!

Here’s how it works: For 12 days beginning December 14th (Day 1), a new cache will be published and every day afterwards until December 25th. If you are able to First to Find, FTF, one of these daily caches, an FTF Cachemas Ornament will be in the container for you to keep. As an added bonus, thanks to L Frank, the ornament can be converted to a cache container for a future hide. PLEASE, if you get an FTF on one of the 12 days, do not go for another one, let someone else have the fun.

Again, there will be a 13th Bonus Cache which can only be found by using the codes written on the inside of the container lid of each daily cache. Keep these codes and use them to solve the location of the 13th cache which will also publish on the 12th and final day, December 25th. In the process of locating the codes, you will solve the coordinates, believe me, it’s not difficult.

This is the Bonus:

In order to find this cache, you must visit each of the caches, Days 1 thru 8 and Days 11 & 12 of the 2015 Cachemas in STL series. On the inside of the lid for each cache container is a code; those codes need to be inserted into the formulas found on the inside lid of days 9 & 10. This will give you the coordinates of this Bonus Cache. It is not difficult.

Have fun!!

Remember to thank 87prelude in your log. He brought this great series to St. Louis.

Due to the huge Red Christmas Jingle Bell container being a muggle magnet, I have replaced it with a preform. The original log is in the preform. The Muggle magnet will most likely surface again next year.

CORRECTION:The cache area was bulldozed clean. I moved the cache 45 feet north. The new formula is: N38 AB.CIE/W090 FG.HIE. It is still a preform.

IMPORTANT:DAY 9 HAS BEEN ARCHIVED, THE DAY 9 CODE IS N38.
