Geocache Description:


This is a challenge cache and has special logging requirements. Please be sure to read the cache page thoroughly. Logs of finders not meeting the requirements will be deleted.


December is the time for holidays! This cache is located along an appropriately named street just outside of Bud Hammer Park. This is an encore presentation as the original cache was in Hartwood Acres, home at the time to spectacular Christmas lights. Alas, the light show, as well as the cache container, have both ceased to exist requiring a new placement. If you logged the previous iteration of this challenge, you are free to log this one as well. As always, please exercise stealth.

The cache is located at the above coordinates. To be eligible to log this cache as a find, you must first have found at least one cache on each day of the month in December. The finds need not have been found on sequential days (i.e. could have been found in different years). The log will stand if the finder's stats are public, posts the green light message from project-gc, or if he/she sends us an email with the appropriate info.

Good luck! The difficulty rating is due to the number of caches needed to meet logging requirements.The terrain rating is appropriate for this particular hide.


Congrats to papazulu for the FTF!
