Geocache Description:


You've heard of Santa Claus, but have you ever heard of Krampus? Don't feel bad, not many have. Krampus is a little bit of Austrian Folklore. See, in the traditional tales over there, Santa doesn't just bring coal to children who misbehave, he just sends his good buddy Krampus to go deal with them! 

I did a little research and learned Krampus supposedly visits on the eve of St. Nicholas' Day in Austria, which is December 5th or Krampusnacht. 

This cache was hidden for my "Krampus is Coming to Town!" event. First-to-find was claimed by attendees of the event. This is a nice short walk in the woods and should be a fairly easy find. You are looking for a holiday-painted ammo can. Enjoy, and keep an eye out for Krampus' tricks!
