Geocache Description:

We enjoyed a very similar cache to this one in another city and decided to bring the puzzle to Sarnia. It took us a while to solve the puzzle, hence the difficulty rating.

This cache is not at the posted coordinates, but it is located in the Sarnia area.


On this particular day ten of the local Sarnia area cachers agreed to meet at a local coffee shop before heading out for a day of fun and caching.

Coincidentally the ten cachers arrived at the coffee shop in pairs with one driver and one passenger in each vehicle. No pairs arrived at the same time.

The driver of each vehicle had a unique selection of drink, snack and number of new caches that they had researched for this outing.

The ten cachers in attendance were:

TnT – 0
Apollo – 1
Hard Oiler – 2
Jay Walking – 3
Tomsqrd – 4
Bucky – 5
Wallace & Gromit – 6
mcmack – 7
RockinRod – 8
Neaders – 9 (only one of the team could make it)

Team Namthcof had been expected to show up, but got held up in bridge traffic and phoned to say that the group should go ahead without them.

The numbers associated with each cacher will be used to determine the final coordinates, and the following observations will help you to solve this puzzle:

o TnT drove the car in which Bucky was a passenger

o Hard Oiler was hungry and shared his driver’s Danish pastry

o Apollo was the driver of the team that researched 5 caches

o The team in which Jay Walking was a passenger researched 4 caches

o Apollo and passenger arrived just after the RockinRod vehicle

o The driver who had tea also had a donut

o Neaders drove and had black coffee

o The team that hadn’t researched any caches arrived third

o Wallace & Gromit was the passenger of the vehicle that arrived first

o The driver who had hot chocolate arrived either just before or just after the driver who had a bagel

o The driver who had black coffee arrived either just before or just after the driver who had a muffin

o The team of the driver who had Iced Cappuccino researched 2 caches

o mcmack’s driver did not have anything to drink or eat

o Wallace & Gromit and driver arrived either just before or after the vehicle driven by tomsqrd

o Apollo refused to search for any puzzle caches or micro caches


The final coordinates for the cache are:

N 43º 00.abc where the letters are associated with:

a = The passenger of the vehicle that arrived fourth
b = The driver that arrived first
c = The driver that arrived last

W 082º 1v.xyz where the letters are associated with:

v = The driver who had a bagel
x = RockinRod’s passenger
y = The driver who had hot chocolate
z = The driver who had tea

The cache container that you are looking for is a camouflaged, 550 ml, Lock & Lock container. Use caution when retrieving the cache. There is a pull-out suitable for one car just south of the cache.
