Geocache Description:


This is a puzzle cache; it is not located at posted coordinates. Solve the puzzle to get the coords to the container!

Welcome to the 12 Days of Cachemas, brought to you by the Omaha Elves!

The Elves will publish 12 caches all over the Omaha metro area, one on each day from December 13-24. You can expect a variety of types, sizes and at all times of the day.  Some will be more challenging than others, but none will be higher than 2.5 in D or T.

 This year’s theme is “Some of Our Favorite Things”

The first 11 of these caches will each contain an FTF prize in the shape of a collectible Christmas ornament. If you get a FTF and collect the ornament and get another FTF on another day, you can decide to leave the ornament for the STF or take it for yourself. Christmas spirit says let another geocacher have the joy of an ornament. 

 The object of the game is to get the coordinates to the final (12th) cache, which will be published on Christmas Eve. Day 1 thru 11 caches will hold (taped to the lid) one digit of the coords to the 12th cache, which will be a puzzle.

There will be a FTF and STF prize in the 12th cache.

 

This little elf loves a long winter’s nap. It looks like Santa does, too!

Can you find the coords to the final cache hidden in the picture?

 

The final is located at 

N41 13.ABC   W096 02.DEF

 

Merry Cachemas from the Omaha Elves!
