Geocache Description:

In honour of St. Patrick's Day, Evil St. Paddy is going to treat you with the Seventeen Days of Green Series.

There are 16 caches with clues that will lead you to a final 17th cache.

These will be mostly C&D's. I do warn however, that there will be a few puzzles along the way too; don't worry -- they're FUN!



The legend of the leprechauns states that these fairies hail from Ireland,
where they make shoes and wreak havoc on unsuspecting humans.


Enjoy a bit O'Irish musik each day -

March is the month of spring (20th to be exact). What do we think of when we think of March -- we think green, we think Irish, we think St. Patrick's, and we think spring! Hey, did you know that's how St. Patrick's became so associated with Green? LOL!

Hope you enjoy this series that will bring you a variety of 'green' places, or is that places associated with St. Patrick's? Eh, either way, journey on -- you'll soon find a connection! You might even find some place you want to visit on St. Patrick's day!

PUZZLE:

Sammy Pratt is from the west and loves to travel around. Rosemary Mc Lod is from the north, and also loves to travel, but as a poor college student with limited funds she stays mainly near where she grew up -- for now.

Sammy came out for a 'visit' several moons ago and there she eventually met Rosemary. The two became fast friends and both continue to cache together on a regular basis taking PA by storm more or less.

Both Sammy and Rosemary recently attended a St. Patty's Day Cacher's Bingo Event. There they met many other cachers and chatted with current friends. However, the joy of the day came when they both won some $$$$ playing the Bingo game.

They soon discovered what it means to be a cacher's bingo though -- in order to collect their winnings they have to figure out where the $$$$ is hidden. Can you help them? Maybe they'll share some of their Leprechaun gold with you. Below are their winning cards.
