Geocache Description:


 

THE SLAGA TWELVE DAYS OF CACHEMAS ARE BACK!!!

It's a night cache, we hope your flashlights are bright and have good batteries! From the nearby pavilion you can see the first Red Fire Tack on a nearby tree. Go to that spot and shine your light until you spot the next Fire Tack. Follow the trail of these until you find the Cachetivus Pole, which will have several different colored Fire Tacks on it. Rejoice for a moment and then chant this mantra as you punch in the following information into your device, "80' at 263º" Then hightail it to that spot to find the concealed treasure you are wanting to find. Have fun, be safe and we will see you there!

Cachemas 2020

 

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 27th. 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 stamps contained inside of the container of each daily cache. DO NOT TAKE THE STAMPS. Use the stamp or take a photo of the stamp. Keep these images and use them to solve for the location of the Bonus cache which will publish on December 27th. 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 three days after Day 12 in order to give cachers extra time to acquire any stamps they may need.

THE BONUS CACHE CONTAINS TWO LARGE PREMIUM GEOCOINS AS WELL AS AN AWESOME ORNAMENT!

Remember the rubber stamp is not a trade item. Please leave it in the cache!
Park hours are 6:00 am to 10:00 pm.

These 2 Cachemas caches make 19 months in a row of me hiding caches!
