Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates are for the entrance to the DOD Ponds. I noticed that there is a significant shortage of puzzle caches in Salem County so I “borrowed” this concept from one I found this summer in the Poconos.

There are some Christmas songs that you hear over and over and over and over and over and over ........ until they drive you mad. 12 Days of Christmas is one of those songs. There are several versions of this song and to find the final coordinates you will need to figure out which version I have used as the key for this puzzle. This shouldn’t be too hard, but I must warn you that if you are only searching the internet for the lyrics you may have some difficulty. All of the lyric sites that I checked have the lyrics wrong for one of these days, but this is easily overcome by listening to the song. I thought this might be a fun way to kick off the holidays. Rather than searching for the perfect gift, you can spend time searching for this cache. I hope this helps to make your season bright!

Final Coordinates:

N = golf clubs, games of scrabble meerschaum pipes, meerschaum pipes.pairs of cufflinks, ivory combs, ivory combs

W = books of fictions, ivory combs silken scarves, books of fiction.silken scarves, silken scarves, meerschaum pipes
