Day 8 - 2017 Cachemas in STL Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Mongo: Greetings Odd_Intentions,

I hate to see any cache go, but I am archiving this cache since there's been no response from, nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

CACHE ARCHIVAL IS PERMANENT

Geocaches not maintained by the owner will still be archived even when a throwdown container has been left. Ownership Regarding Throwdowns

Regretfully,

Geocache Description:


THE SLAGA TWELVE DAYS OF CACHEMAS ARE BACK!!!

The Cache Sled has landed with eight Maids a milking!!!!

Here’s how it works: For 12 consecutive days beginning December 13th (Day 1), a new cache will be published and every day afterwards until December 24th. If you are able to First to Find, FTF, one of these daily caches, an FTF Cachemas Ornament will be in the container for you to keep. Once again, L Frank has designed a unique ornament that can be converted to a cache container for a future hide; or, you may keep it, your choice. PLEASE, if you get an FTF on one of the 12 days, do not go for another one until day 13, let someone else have the fun. 

Again, there will be a Bonus Cache on the 13th day, December 25th. EVERYONE is eligible to find the bonus whether or not you have FTFed a Cachemas hide. This cache can only be found by using all the codes written on the inside of the container lid of each daily cache. Keep these codes and use them to solve the location of the Bonus cache which will publish on the final day, December 25th. The Bonus solution will be included in the final day Cache description and I am promised, it is not a difficult solution.

 

THE BONUS CACHE CONTAINS TWO LARGE PREMIUM GEOCOINS 

AS WELL AS AN AWESOME ORNAMENT

Have fun and remember to thank Brandt Teske, aka 87preludea20a3, in your log. He brought this great series to St. Louis.

This Geocache Description:

Oh man, my own cachemas hide! After much brainstorming (I had some ideas that would have put me on the Naughty List) this cache came to be in the beautiful Fountain View Park. Cachemas is almost here but it looks like Santa is having a little trouble... getting things in order... Give him a hand getting ready at the posted coordinates and he'll send you in the direction of an early cachemas present. To help sort things out you'll need this:

N 38° 4A.BCD   W 90° 3E.FGH

Remeber! Hide the containers the way you found them and respect the park that was kind enough to let us hide this cache as well if you want to stay on the Nice List!
