Geocache Description:


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 afterward 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. If you get an FTF on one of the 12 days, please 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 26th. 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 each daily cache's container lid. Keep these codes and use them to solve the location of the Bonus cache, which will publish on the final day, December 26th. 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
 

 

Willoughby Heritage Farm is free to the public.

Open 7 days a week from 9:00 am to dusk. Please schedule your visit in advance if your group is larger than 10 people.

‍Willoughby Heritage Farm and Conservation Reserve is a public park where we've recreated an atmosphere inspired by 1940's farm life, complete with tractors, barns, a 1930's Craftsman-style Farm House, and even live animals like donkeys, steer, chickens, and goats!  We have over 30-acres of wildlife preserve complete with hiking trails, bridges, and vistas overlooking the prairie and other areas. We're open daily to the public, and since we're a public park, admission is free!  So come on and explore a little of what life was like in the 1940s here in Collinsville.
