Day 11 - 2020 Cachemas in STL
THE STL 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 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 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 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
Calling All Birds
Please Note: The cache is not at these coordinates! You will need to solve the puzzle to determine the actual location of the cache. You may PARK at these coordinates. Please follow neighborhood signs to park on the correct side of the street. Be kind to neighbors and DO NOT search for this cache after sundown.
Only enter the park from close to the given coordinates. There is a park sign between two houses to show you are in the right place. You should NOT enter from any other direction, or go onto any private property, in order to retrieve this cache!
Park Hours are sunrise to sunset. It is very important to respect these hours!
There's a familiar holiday song that involves many birds, a few interesting objects, and some humans who we don't care about today. What is less known is that all the birds in said song gather for a party every holiday! The preparations are getting underway for this year's shindig, and Mr. Perry Partridge, Party Planner Extraordinaire, is running around like a... well, we don't like to bring up those poor unfortunate poultry. Please pay attention to the birds in this story, do a little bit of math on the given coordinates, and you will find the prize of the party!
Perry Partridge was squawking loudly at his underlings on the North side of the banquet hall.
"Allen, what are you doing? No one is going to sit with their back to the tree!! No, don't change it. Go away, you're nothing to me."
"Brant, what a wonderful job lettering the place cards. The Doves are going to love their seats, but not here! Take them away, put them over there!"
"Caspian, are you seeing this? Those geese have got to go! Get the gaggle out the door!"
Perry rushed to the West side, where three more of his flock needed his leadership.
"Dunlin, do you see this? Those Geese have made a mess here. No, you can't clean it up in time, just let it be."
"Elf, no, no, no! We can't have golden napkin rings! Do you KNOW how many of us go crazy around shiny things? Get those baubles out of here!"
"Franklin, can you put French menus here? I added the Hens to this table and they'll love it."
Perry could almost relax now. The tables were ready and soon the party could start!
You are solving for the last three digits of the North and West coordinates. Very basic math should help you out.
