Merry Xmas, Santa is stuck! Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

GR8Caches: Went by this morning and grabbed all the remaining containers. This one was missing and the hardest of the series but also the funest! This was starting to show the age as some were in bad shape. Most had over 150 visits. We hope you enjoyed the series. We will see what the area might bring in the future.

Geocache Description:


THIS IS A PROJECTION LETTERBOX! DO THE PROJECTION then start the story below.

This is a series of 8 letterboxes to celebrate Xmas! This caches is NOT at the listed coordinates, you will need to follow the story below to find the final location. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE STAMP or logbook.  All hides are intended to be quick and easy finds.

If you have never leterboxed before this is your chance to start something new with caching. Get your own personal little journal book and make or buy your own stamp. Then when you visit the caches start stamping your book with the stamps in the cache and stamp the logbook with your stamp. Personally we have been doing these caches this way all along. We have our own small stamp that is a pine cone and the wife is on her third journal of all the stamps we have collected over the years. It is a great way to add more fun to your caching temperance.

PROJECTIONNow lets have some fun! At the starting coordinates you will need to do a projection. Project a waypoint 321° at 565 feet. Once you arrive at the projection point start reading the story and following along.

STORY: Santa was busy just like every other Christmas Eve. We was flying all over the place delivering toys. Then all of a sudden it seemed like he hit a WALL (barrier).  It wasn't long before things started to get ROCKY (gravel) for old Santa. Then before he knew it he was able to control the sleigh for a perfect landing right at 2 Really BIG CHIMNEYS, a tall one and a shorter one (these chimneys are so big you will know them when you see them). Now this is where you need to help because things really took a turn for the worst. See there aren't many stories about Santa getting stuck in chimneys but it does happen from time to time. Can you save Christmas? Which one did he get stuck in and can you help him out in time to save Christmas? 

  • The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, follow the story
  • DO NOT take the stamp
  • Put the container back where you found it up in the chimney

We hope you enjoy finding and stamping as you cache!
