Geocache Description:


The final geocache is NOT located at the posted coordinates, but they do provide a general location to park. The actual coordinates for the hide location are determined based on the clues given below. Bring your own writing tool.  Permission for the hide was received from the head manager at the location.

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 2019, 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!!!

For years, my family, Jolly (me), Wally (my brother), and Holly (my sister) have drawn names for a Christmas gift exchange.  With a geocaching theme, I can tell you that the gifts were an Ammo Can (for a cache), Duct Tape (to repair the cache), and Band Aids (to repair the cacher).  Here are clues to how the gifts were exchanged.

1. Jolly will not get the ammo can unless Wally gets the band aids.

2. Jolly will not get the duct tape unless Holly gets the ammo can.

3. Jolly will not get the band aids unless Wally gets the duct tape.

4. Holly will not get the ammo can unless Jolly gets the band aids.

The coordinates to this year’s prize are N 42 01.ABC  W 091 37.DEF.

The values for A B C D E F are determined according to the following table.
