Geocache Description:

The final geocache is NOT located at the posted coordinates, but they may provide ideas for nearby parking opportunities while you search for this gift from me to you. The actual coordinates for the hide location are determined based on the clues given below. Bring your own writing tool and be sure to follow hide location rules for accessing the area. Permission for the hide granted by the City of Cedar Rapids.

I've often been accused by close family members of being slooooow to catch the holiday spirit. They've even associated me with the phrase Bah, Humbug!!! Well, in my defense, I simply don't want to peak too early. Starting holiday shopping in early July would have me peaking in July instead of late December. Hence, just to PROVE I am not a Scrooge in 2018, I present this hide to you as my holiday gift to the geocaching community in the form of a little fun (the puzzle shouldn't prove too difficult) and an easy smiley (pretty straightforward hide). Have a Happy Holiday, everybody!!!

Knock Knock. Who's there? Jolly. Jolly who? Jolly-days are here again! ..........

Oh well, I gave it the ole JollyWally try...

Perhaps you would enjoy a little bit more “snow-phisticated” humor.
