Geocache Description:


You will need to get some information from this spot to solve a quick field puzzle to get the final coordinates.  You will want to drive to the final but it is close.
 
At this location there is a lamp post with a four digit number in black with a yellow background.  Use that number to solve:
 
N 39 1A.B02 W 076 46.0CD
 
A = last digit
B = third digit minus fourth digit
C = first digit plus second digit
D = first digit minus fourth digit plus 8
 
This is littleblkdog’s Reindeer Run.  Other than squirrels, birds, and food there is probably nothing more interesting than deer, especially Reindeer.  If only she could meet one of them.  LBD assured me that she would be nice and only wanted to meet the Reindeer to give them her Christmas list.  So I took her to all the places where the Reindeer might be in the Columbia area, dropping caches as we went.  We didn’t find Rudolph but maybe you can find the caches.  These are all located at the secret, undercover homes of all the famous Reindeer.  Keep an eye out and maybe you will see one of them.
 
This is meant to be a kid friendly series of easy holiday caches.  Be sure to get the code off of the log.  You may need it to find Rudolph!
 
A special thank you to the anonymous author of “A Visit from St. Nicholas” for bringing us the Reindeer.  A second special thank you to Robert L. May and Monkey Wards for bringing us Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
