Geocache Description:


The cache is not hidden at the published coordinates. 

New England - the six most north-eastern states in the USA, with Boston as its hub, is the place for the quintessential American Christmas.   The New England states are: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and little Rhode Island.

Covered Bridges.    Sleigh rides in the snow.    A White Christmas is almost guaranteed in this Winter Wonderland.   

Sure, New York has "Miracle on 34th Street".. and skating in Rockefeller Center.. and Macy's.    But if you want to experience the simple joys of a classical American Christmas, come to New England.

As it is Christmas, I have a simple little puzzle for you as a gift.   It's not really even a puzzle.   Just watch this charming video about a typical New England Christmas, and the coordinates will appear before your eyes.

They call this Christmas where I'm from.   

The container is NOT Christmas themed. A cache is for life, not just for Christmas. 

This cache is part of a series of puzzle caches hidden in the same area, which I've called the Lansdown Puzzle Series. They make an "L" shape on the map. See bookmark for the complete list.
