Geocache Description:


Day 3 - 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 afterwards 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.

Cache Details

You can follow the instructions below to get you setup your device for wherigo's and test out reverse wherigo's on this cache. Good luck and have fun. This Wherigo converts your player into a virtual version of the "Reverse Cache Box" which tells you the distance to the cache, but not the bearing. You may begin your search from any spot in the world using your Smartphone or Wherigo compatible GPS to navigate to the cache. The posted coordinates may be a good location to begin your journey, however, the cache is not located at the posted coordinates.

The cartridge was created by Waldmeister and is available to download from the wherigo.com website.

-Waldmeister-'s "The first Reverse Cache [WIG]" is the original cache in this family.

Your task is to find the cache by periodically querying your Reverse Cache Box for the distance to the final location. Some teamwork goes a long way with one person driving and one querying the Reverse Cache Box and navigating. Try to use your Reverse Cache Box as few times as possible. All instructions and necessary information needed to complete the cartridge is contained within it. The cartridge is multilingual. When entering the language you can shorten it to 2 digits, example: English to EN.

To begin, you will have to type this code into your player:

145308
338904
485139

It is suggested that you take the code with you on your journey. It will be needed if it becomes necessary to restart your player for any reason.

Optional:

Although not required, when you have reached the final, you will be given some statistics on your quest. If you wish, you may enter the details into your log and post the number of times you calculated the distance.

At the end of the game, you will be given a personal pass-code which you can enter into the cartridge if you select "create" rather than "play" when you start the cartridge. Save this code, and if you ever wish to create your own reverse cache, you can do so. -Waldmeister- would like you to inform him of your new edition of his handiwork. Please do not include hints in your log about where and how you found the cache or post photos that would give away the final location.

Any Spoilers in the logs and they will be deleted without contacting the log owner

Have Fun!
