Welcome to ChristmasGuy’s first Christmas Tree GeoArt. This series of about 30ish caches will have you exploring Lake Andrea and the Village of Pleasant Prairie public hunting grounds.
All trivia questions in this series are related to Christmas. Some questions come from my favorite Christmas movies and some were discovered via google searches. They are not meant to be hard although some may be tricky and sneaky.
Most, if not all caches are camo pill bottles and are easy to find once you get to ground zero (Consider carrying 1 or 2 replacements that can be tethered to trees as good geocachers do to help others in case some are missing). Note: Some may be up in trees to keep them out of the swampy areas. Some may also be over water and some will be very peaceful tranquil places you should have a picnic at. One is even 4’ from a beaver mound.

Feel free to contact me with any questions of where they may be hidden. I really enjoyed placing these in some places I never really knew existed and that I drive by often. I hope you like your geocaching adventure.
