How the Grinch Stole Cachemas: Twinkle, Twinkle
This is a night cache in the 2015 NoVaGo series How the Grinch Stole Cachemas. Come after dark with your brightest flashlight in search of the final location that contains a clue for the HtGSC bonus cache. Be prepared for the unexpected, since there are field puzzles to solve along the way.
Come sit by the fire,
Listen close girls and boys,
To this tale of the Grinch,
When he flummoxed our joys.
With Cachemas upon us
In this season of light,
The Grinch planned and schemed,
Schemed and planned, with delight.
What’s up with these Cachers?
They are such a bore!
With their boxes and bisons,
And puzzles galore.
I will streak through the dark
In a small Cachemas village!
And take all their toys
While I rumpus and pillage!
Swiftly he swaggered,
Over streets, round and round!
Leaving trails of small stars
Floating up off the ground.
Quick! Turn on your lights
And follow those stars!
Pay close attention
And watch out for cars!
When out of the dark
A Box Star manifests,
Look close for the clue
That will jump start your quest!
Other secrets await you
In the dark of the night
With gadgets in hand
And a trail made of light.
