Once you have figured out the correct coordinates, you will have a nice hike through some rough terrain.
This cache was placed as a decoy cache in the “Twelve Days of Cachemas RIC” series.
Since we have so many clever geocachers in the Richmond area, we were fairly certain that some of these cachers would be tempted to guess the location of the ‘Cachemas Prize Cache’ a bit too early. So we placed this cache of coal for all those eager cachers to find. The contents includes a log and some coal, no prizes. But we do have a soft heart and so we published the decoy cache now that the prize cache has been found.
For those of you who have not found this cache, look at the eleven days of cachemas song:
On the eleventh day of Cachemas, Groundspeak gave to me:
…Eleven Frosty Icicles
…Ten Cranberry Bushes
…Nine Ringing Bells
…Eight Candy Canes
…Seven Holiday Drums
…Six Toy Soldiers
…F-I-V-E S-A-N-T-A C-L-A-U-S-E-S
…Four Singing Angels
…Three Pine Cones
…Two Hanging Stockings
…And a Micro in a Christmas Tree
Take the clues from these eleven caches and figure out the coordinates to the coal cache. While most numbers should fall into place, you will need to make some assumptions to finish the puzzle, but there should not be any cause for ‘aggravation’.
