Geocache Description:


                                     CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT POSTED COORDINATES.

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 30th. 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 found 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 30th. The method to solve the Bonus will be included in the final day Cache description, and I am promised, it is not a difficult solution. We are publishing the Bonus six days after Day 12 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 FTF ORNAMENT

This Geocache Description:

The 8 Maids-a-milking cache is an easy puzzle solve and a short walk with minimal bushwhack.

                                     

The 8 Maids-a-milking had their favorite milk can taken and hidden by the mischievous farm boy. But he left them each a saying as a clue and a list of meanings in the barn.  He told them if they'd match the correct meaning of each, they would be able to solve his little prank and find their milk can.  Will you help?
