Welcome to the 12 Days of Cachemas, brought to you by the Omaha Elves!
The Elves will publish 13 caches all over the Omaha metro area, one on each day from December 13-24, with the finale publishing on Jan. 2. This will give everyone extra time to search out the 12 Cachemas before the final publishes. You can expect a variety of types of hides, and keep in mind that the caches will publish at different 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 it’s all about “Thank you, Cache Owners!” This game wouldn’t exist without the time, energy, creativity, and resources donated by cache owners. We elves want to thank some local COs for making geocaching in the Omaha area fun for the rest of us.
These caches will each contain an FTF prize in the shape of a collectible Christmas ornament. If you get an 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. The spirit of Christmas says let another geocacher have the joy of an ornament.
The object of the game is to get the coordinates to the final (13th) cache, which will be published on Jan. 2. Caches 1-12 will hold (taped to the lid) one digit of the coords to the 13th cache, which will be a puzzle.
There will be a FTF and STF prize in the final.
The cache is not located at posted coords, but that would be a good place to park.
This area is open from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM - no night caching!
Omaha-area cachers who've been around for a while know JAB#, who's probably the most enthusiastic FTF hunter we've ever seen. Well, now it's time for us to help JAB# get to a special FTF brought especially for him from Santa Claus himself. If you help JAB# make it to his cache, there just might be a cache in it for you, too. Watch out, though - stay away from those gingerbread muggles!
The final is located at
N41 14.XXX W096 07.XXX
Merry Cachemas from the Omaha Elves!
