Geocache Description:

The posted co-ordinates will take you to a good parking spot.

The cache is filled with things you might want to bring with you on a picnic. Hopefully not any ants, though.







One day this past summer, some of the Ingersoll cachers got together, on a quest to prove that Tupperware can be used for more than just geocaches. They emptied out all their old cache containers and filled them with food, to bring on a geo-picnic. (YUCK!!!)

There were three individual cachers (Dragonballz, brendah, and teaing) and three caching teams (The Four Fishers, the Kool Aid Kids, and ChiefGobbler&moose1954) attending. They cruised around in their geo-mobiles for a while, and finally decided on a good picnic spot.
They gathered up their picnic supplies from their trunks, and happily set out, stomachs a'grumblin'. All of a sudden, Blackberry and cellphone alerts started to go off all over the place – it seems that Banjosmom just had a new dog cache approved, and it was in that very same park!
In the ensuing frenzy to punch in co-ordinates and grab the coveted FTF prize, picnic baskets, backpacks and lunchbags were thrown everywhere.
Can you determine what item of food each cacher or team brought (somebody brought cheese and crackers – Canadian 5-year-old cheddar, of course!), what kind of container they used for their food (yep, there was an ammo can, too!) and in what order they found the new cache?


Notes


1. The team of Chief Gobbler&moose1954 did not bring the tuna salad sandwiches (the FTF’er(s) brought that), nor did they bring the watermelon (the sixth, or last finder(s) brought that).
2. Dragonballz found the cache sometime before the cacher or team who brought potato salad, and sometime after the cacher or team who used the camo-tape-covered grocery store salad container. The Kool Aid Kids found the cache directly after the cacher or team who used the ice cream tub as a container.
3. The individual cacher who used the square Tupperware container found the cache directly after brendah did.
4. A caching team brought the turkey jerky (but didn’t use the camo’ed lock’n lock).
5. The caching team who used the Rubbermaid container found the cache right before the cacher or team who brought the coleslaw.
6. No caching team found the cache directly before or directly after another caching team.





When you've filled out the chart correctly, fill in the values for the cache co-ordinates:


N 43 02. coleslaw/ammo can/teaing

W 080 54. rubbermaid/potato salad/brendah
