Geocache Description:


This is a multi cache; it is not located at posted coordinates. Answer the question to get the coords to the container!

Welcome to the 12 Days of Cachemas, brought to you by the Omaha Elves!

 

The Elves will publish 12 caches all over the Omaha metro area, one on each day from December 13-24. You can expect a variety of types, sizes and at all times of the day.  Some will be more challenging than others, but none will be higher than 2.5 in D or T.

 This year’s theme is “Some of Our Favorite Things”

 

The first 11 of these caches will each contain an FTF prize in the shape of a collectible Christmas ornament. If you get a FTF and collect the ornament and get another FTF on another day, you can decide to leave the ornament for the STF or take it for yourself. Christmas spirit says let another geocacher have the joy of an ornament. 

 The object of the game is to get the coordinates to the final (12th) cache, which will be published on Christmas Eve. Day 1 thru 11 caches will hold (taped to the lid) one digit of the coords to the 12th cache, which will be a puzzle.

There will be a FTF and STF prize in the 12th cache.

Merry Cachemas from the Omaha Elves!

 

This is Children's Hospital.  There is a nice light show here every night. 

The posted coordinate is for across the street from the hospital 

but you can view the lights from any corner of this intersection.

 

At the ground level there are children

playing with umbrellas. 

There are four umbrellas open

and one umbrella closed.

 

Question:    How many open umbrellas are lighted?

 

If the answer is 2 then go to coordinates   N 41 15.705  W 096 02.600

If the answer is 4 then go to coordinates   N 41 15.733 W 096 02.757
