Geocache Description:


Day 10 - 2019 Cachemas in STL

THE SLAGA TWELVE DAYS OF CACHEMAS ARE BACK!!!

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, this year, there will be a Bonus Cache on the 13th day, December 24th. EVERYONE is eligible to FTF 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!
