Toward the end of last summer, just about the time I felt like I was getting to know many of the veteran cachers, a bunch of new names started to show up in the cache logs and caches published notifications. At the end of the year I tallied the 50 most active MN cachers during 2009 (as measured by total finds). I was surprised to see that a few cachers who made this list had logged their first find in 2009. Several others who almost made the list hadn’t recorded their first find until midway through 2009. And one of these cachers, who didn’t even start until August, turned the caching world upside down by hiding over 100 caches in less than 5 months. They are the cream of the crop of the Minnesota caching class of 2009. They are the “Young Guns”:

The theme of this cache is to honor the newest “Gunslingers” in the MN caching game. I have not asked any of them for permission to be included in the above puzzle. If you would like your name removed just contact me through my profile link. Enjoy!
