Geocache Description:


Cold Cache Crew Christmas all winter long.  Let's keep those songs ringing in our heads!

"Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a song by songwriter Johnny Marks based on the 1939 story Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer published by the Montgomery Ward Company. Gene Autry's recording hit No. 1 on the U.S. charts the week of Christmas 1949

In 1939, Marks' brother-in-law, Robert L. May, created the character Rudolph as an assignment for Montgomery Ward, and Marks decided to adapt the story of Rudolph into a song. English singer-songwriter and entertainer Ian Whitcomb interviewed Marks about the creation of the song in 1972.

The song had an added introduction, paraphrasing the poem "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" (in the public domain by the time the song was written), stating the names of the eight reindeer: "You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen! But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?"

Cache is located at the coordinates.

Please note that the letterbox stamp is carved into the cover of the container.  Bring your own ink pad.  This is my first attempt at this kind of stamp.
