Geocache Description:


THE SLAGA TWELVE DAYS OF CACHEMAS ARE BACK!!

The Cache Sled has landed with twelve Drummers drumming!!!!

Here’s how it works: For 12 consecutive days beginning December 12th (Day 1), a new cache will be published and every day afterwards until December 23rd.  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.  Once again, L Frank has designed a unique ornament that can be converted to a cache container for a future hide; or, you may keep it, your choice.  PLEASE, if you get an FTF on one of the 12 days, do not go for another one until day 13, let someone else have the fun.

Again, there will be a Bonus Cache on the 13th day, December 24th. EVERYONE is eligible to find the bonus whether or not you have FTFed a Cachemas hide.  This cache can only be found by using all 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 Bonus cache which will publish on the final day, December 24th.  The Bonus solution will be included in the final day Cache description and I am promised, it is not a difficult solution.


THE BONUS CACHE CONTAINS TWO LARGE PREMIUM GEOCOINS

AS WELL AS AN AWESOME ORNAMENT

Have fun and remember to thank Brandt Teske, aka 87preludea20a3, in your log.  He brought this great series to St. Louis.
