Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT listed at the above coordinates. I would not suggest parking in this location either!!! Below is a logic problem you will need to solve in order to find the REAL coordinates you are seeking. Brain power on this one! Bring tweezers!!! Please note that the area has really become overgrown and might have a thorn bush by it. Please be careful when retrieving. Emails to CO are welcome.

Lsodder and four other cachers all decided to shop for some items in which to make some clever hides. All cachers went to different closeout stores and bought some obsolete items at great prices. They also bought some string in which to hang them (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 feet of string) and paid different amounts at each store ($6, $7, $8, $9, $10). With this info and also the clues below, you will be able to determine which person shopped at what store, the length of string they purchased, the item they bought and their amount spent. Below, you will find out which numbers are needed to find the actual coordinates!

1. The person who bought the most string didn’t spend the most money, and the person who bought the least string didn’t spend the least.
2. Chef Oscola spent more than the person who bought the log books but less than the person who shopped at U.S. Cache.
3. KFLASK spent more than the one who shopped at Cold Cache.
4. The person who shopped at Cache This bought less string than the one who bought a bison tube.
5. The one who bought nanos bought more string than the person who shopped at Caches R Us (which is not where the lock n lock was purchased).
6. The person who bought a travel bug spent more than TarZan and bought more string than Mifoot.
7. The one who shopped at Cache That and the person who bought the lock n lock met for lunch.
8. The person who shopped at Cache This spent less money than TarZan.
9. The one who bought the lock n lock spent more than the one who shopped at U.S. Cache.
10. Mifoot bought more string than the person who bought the log books.
