Day 10 - 2015 Cachemas in STL, Day 10 Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Strider: This one is probably gone, and I think I'll open up the area for someone else to place one in the SE corner of Sugar Creek Park. Thanks all and sorry I didn't do this a long time ago!

Geocache Description:


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 Lfrank, 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.

Have fun and remember to thank 87prelude in your log. He brought this great series to St. Louis.
Ok, now for this cache, from the starting coordinates you must find the nearby Symbol of Peace and go to that location. Once you get there you just have to do some simple counting.

For the distance to the cache take 275.13 and times it by the number of rows of bricks. Checksum of the bricks is 8. The distance is in feet.

For the bearing in degrees to the cache, take the number of capstones on the rock wall and multiply it by 10.12. The checksum for the number of capstones is 10.

Make your projection from the Symbol of Peace, not the waypoint at the top of the page.

Congratulations to L Frank for braving the crowds at the mall and getting the First To Find!
