Day 7 - 2022 Cachemas

THE SLAGA TWELVE DAYS OF CACHEMAS ARE BACK!!!

Here’s how it works: For 12 consecutive days beginning December 13th (Day 1), a new cache
will be published and every day afterward until December 24th. 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 Bonus Day, let someone else have the fun.
This year, there will be a Bonus Cache on 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 of each daily cache. Keep these codes and use
them to solve the location of the Bonus cache which will publish on December 26th. The Bonus
solution will be included in the final day Cache description, and I am promised, it is not a
difficult solution. We are publishing the Bonus sometime after 12 noon in order to give cachers
extra time to acquire any codes they may need.

THE BONUS CACHE CONTAINS TWO LARGE PREMIUM GEOCOINS

AS WELL AS AN AWESOME ORNAMENT

Additionally, the Cache Owner has informed that there will be miscellaneous geocaching gifts
spread throughout Ground Zero that you may stumble upon during your hunt.
This Geocache Description:

=================================
Note: On the evening of release -
The description below was modified to correct some of the swan's turnaround locations. 
It does not effect the final location. 
=================================
At the starting Coordinate there was seen 7 Swans Swimming.  These 7 swans lost their Christmas ornament.  After discussion, they decided to go off in a different direction and return with the ornament if they found it.   One of them found it at exactly the distance and direction below.

Swan 1 went at a bearing of 177 for 1886 Feet
Swan 2 went at a bearing of 309 for 4609 Feet
Swan 3 went at a bearing of 314 for 2234 Feet
Swan 4 went at a bearing of 206 for 2096 Feet
Swan 5 went at a bearing of 342 for 0968 Feet
Swan 6 went at a bearing of 234 for 2254 Feet
Swan 7 went at a bearing of 090 for 1588 Feet

At the starting ground zero,  there is a metal wheel.  Count the spokes of the Wheel.  That number is the Swan who found the Ornament.  Now you can also find it if you are quick enough and add the ornament to your tree.  Otherwise, let others know you found the location by signing the log.

 Merry Christmas 5 more days to go.
