Geocache Description:


Abe published five new caches, each a different size (including a Small, a Regular, and a Large), a different type (including a Traditional, a Puzzle and a Night cache), and hidden by a different owner. These same five geocachers each picked a different one of the five caches and did their best trying to make the first find but only the one who rushed to Busse Woods got the FTF. The others were the second, third, fourth, and fifth to find the caches they chased.
 
Using the clues below, discover the lucky cacher who got the FTF, the size and type of that cache, and the cache owner. Concatenate them together in order without spaces as the key to this PDF file that contains the actual cache coordinates. For example, if TeamGrabbyGoo got the FTF on a Small Traditional cache hidden by RaddyGurl, the key would be TeamGrabbyGooSmallTraditionalRaddyGurl.
 
  1. The five caches are the one found by CanineInTheFederalPen, the one found second by one of these cachers, the Micro, the one hidden by Maxwell/cm^2 and the Projection cache.
  2. IGotAGreenGnome, TeamGrabbyGoo, and CanineInTheFederalPen compared notes at the next FLC and discovered that IGotAGreenGnome was farther from getting a first on the cache he found than TeamGrabbyGoo was on their find, and TeamGrabbyGoo was farther from first on the cache they chased than CanineInTheFederalPen was on his find.
  3. CanineInTheFederalPen hid a magnetic Nano; RaddyGurl used an old 35mm film canister for her non-traditional hide.
  4. The owner of the WhereIsIt cache used the new camera he got for his birthday.
  5. IGotAGreenGnome was thankful that the cache owner included a Bic Round Stic because his pen ran out of ink.
  6. CanineInTheFederalPen had never seen a fire tack until this search.
  7. TeamGrabbyGoo took a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and left a Rubik’s cube.
  8. The largest cache was found fifth by one of these five cachers.

 
 
Congrats to MoodyGrrl for a well-earned FTF.
