This year Santa wanted a change of scenery, and the cold of the
North Pole was starting to seep into his bones (he is getting old
after all, almost as old as ADS1) so he rounded up Mrs. Santa, all
his elves, and the reindeer and told them that they were moving to
the Jackson, Mississippi metro area for the winter. They were
planning to load everything into the sleigh and fly on down, but
then Santa realized that El Ka-bong, Woodduck870 and Amagrud were
probably scanning the skies for ducks, so it would be much safer to
load everything in their Jeeps for the trip south. That trio is not
evil by nature, but with the abundance of red around their neck
area, the sight of flying venison might be too much for them to
resist, them being Mississippi boys, after all!
Everything went well and the Claus’s settled into a facility
that Frank Melton was nice enough to clear out for them. The day
before Christmas, Santa was ready to get his sleigh loaded and
prepare for the big night. When he walked outside, he discovered
that all his elves had disappeared, but they had left a note which
read “Gone to GMP Store – be back later”. He also discovered that
Rudolph was missing. Fortunately, Hooligan and Flamingo Friend were
going by and noticed Santa’s troubled antics, so they stopped to
see if they could reallot something – er – help him out. They
quickly explained what and where the GMP store was, but as Santa
went to jump into one of his Jeeps to go get them, he found that
all of the Jeeps were missing (they turned up later, most at some
place called Indian Ridge and a couple at a facilities office at
UMC). “What am I going to do?” Santa cried. “I’ve got to get my
elves back to load my sleigh and I need Rudolph to guide us
tonight!”
Recognizing their chance for some serious brown-nosing, Hooligan
and Flamingo Friend quickly mobilized their fellow MAC brethren to
help retrieve the errant midgets – er, elves and to search for
Rudolph. Hooligan was immediately dispatched to the GMP Store to
retrieve the elves, while Ronbo was asked to use his office
computer to Google Earth possible locations for Rudolph. Using
Google Earth and countless e-mails to other cachers, Ronbo was able
to derive four (4) locations to clues for Rudolph’s hiding
spot.
Rudolph’s location is N32 19.ABC W090 08.DEF and must be found
if Santa is to be able to make his trip around the world bringing
joy and toys to all the good boys and girls. Ronbo was able to spot
the locations to 4 clues that will help you solve for A, B, C, D,
E, and F. Two reindeer and members of Metro Area Cachers were sent
to each location to retrieve the clues, but none have so far
returned. Could this be the work of the Grinch? Or perhaps even –
(gasp!) – the Starkville Mafia? Your job, should you choose to
accept it, is to search out the four clues and use them to find
Rudolph’s hiding place. Please send any reindeer or MAC members
encountered back so they can help Santa load the sleigh and get
ready for his big trip around the world.
The clue locations are :
Stage 1 – N32 19. 609 W090 08.826
Stage 2 – N32 19. 560 W090 09.006
Stage 3 – N32 19. 608 W090 08.607
Stage 4 – N32 19. 640 W090 08.521
All stages are camouflaged micro containers. The Final is an
ammo box with logbook and swag, as well as a special prize for FTF.
Good Luck!
CONGRATULATIONS TEAM SNOOZIE - FTF!!!
