Cache Friday Bonus: Cache Santa Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ullii: I'm sad to do it, but I'm going to archive this cache to make room for a new one. I think at this point, most of the people who want to do the whole series have done it, and I hate to take up a good spot for maybe one or two visits a year. All of the traditionals in the series will remain active. Thanks to everyone who visited Cache Santa! [:)]

Geocache Description:

It's almost Black Friday, but I don't want to go shopping. I want to go geocaching! I've placed a series of 8 new traditional caches for Cache Friday. If you find them all, you can unlock this Cache Santa bonus cache! This mystery cache requires you to collect a piece of the coordinates from each of the 8 traditional caches in the series. The cache has little presents from Cache Santa for the FTF, 2TF, and 3TF, plus swag for everyone.


The cache is posted at the following coordinates:

N37 0A.BCD W121 5E.FGH

To fill in the missing coordinates, you'll need to find all of the following caches in the Cache Friday series. All of them are in the Los Gatos / Lexington / Santa Cruz Mountains area. They're a mix of sizes and difficulties. The toughest part is a ~2 mile hike on the Priest Rock trail in Lexington Reservoir County Park. The others range from park & grabs to moderate walks. You can do them in any order, but the order in which I've listed them minimizes driving time and puts you in the vicinity of the final cache. If you have any trouble navigating to the final cache (I know it can be tough if you only have the Geocaching app), email me after you've found the rest of the caches and I'll give you a good waypoint. There's good parking near the final cache. I hope you enjoy Cache Friday, and happy hunting!
