Caching By Committee

This puzzle cache is a group effort from those who attended our December 11-12-13 "12 Days of Caching" Event. As members submitted a “will attend” they got to choose one of the digits from the final coordinates and create their own puzzle to be included in the listing. Many thanks to everybody who contributed clues for this puzzle cache.

To find a member's stats, select their log and click on their name to see their lists.

You are looking for a regular-sized, camoed lock and lock containing a variety of trade items that represent some of our recent hides.
