Geocache Description:

*THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES*
And it's probably not a good idea to wander over there either...
Solve the puzzle then find the cache!

Here's a little puzzle to keep you busy. Unscramble the cachers' names to find the solution. Caches with names like this are usually challenges requiring you to find several different caches owned by several different people. This time, you can just visit them online, but you might have to visit all of them to solve the puzzle!

I like to read geocaching logs. Many Premium Members get notifications when a new a new cache is published, but I go for the whole enchilada. My wife thinks I'm crazy that sometimes I have a couple hundred emails to read about people I don't know finding or not finding caches located two counties over, but I find it a good way to learn about some of the interesting places and quality caches to visit. Generally speaking, the longer the log, the better the cache.

A natural consequence of reading lots of cache logs is familiarizing oneself with other geocachers in the area. Other cachers I have met or talked to probably think I'm weird that I know a bit more about them than is typical.

I pay special attention to caches in my immediate area, Southeastern Box Elder County, and especially I notice those who seem to focus a fair share of their caching activity here. This puzzle is my educated guess as to who my caching neighbors are. Sorry if I missed a few, but I tried to be careful not to pick one-time cachers, and also not to pick cache owners who have not been active in many years.

Updated 2013-08-03: Now with even more cachers, a couple removals, many new additions, the puzzle rearranged, and every clue re-jumbled.

Southeastern Box Elder cachers don't get together too often. This might be the only place where you might see us all together in one place! I have personally met only 9 cachers/teams on this list, four of them "on the trail".

To make things easier for you , I have removed all spaces and punctuation from these cachers' names, for example see my wife's solution filled out for you -- note the lack of period and space in her name. If any of these cachers are "Also Known As" or have changed their names, or own caches under a different name (e.g. spouse's), the previous or AKA name is in parentheses... and I jumbled those letters in with all the rest.

Most, not all, of these cachers own caches in the area. One does not actually have a user account but is known by this pseudonym in the caching community, and has been paired as an AKA with his/her caching partner. And it might help to know that I am defining "Southeastern Box Elder County" to include the municipalities of Brigham City, Perry, Willard, Honeyville, Bear River City, Mantua, and Corinne, and the unincorporated community of South Willard, and surrounding areas.

If you or your minor child are in this puzzle and would like to be removed, please send me a message. Or if you know that I have wrongfully accused someone of living in southeastern Box Elder county, also please let me know.

The cache is a small brown container with log and stick and a handful of small toys.

Good Luck!

Congratulations on FTF to BFin, MarshallOD, and My Dal Leo, who, I note in passing, are not obscure Southeastern Box Elder County cachers.

Congratulations to 58mcall and RFQuickJr for being the FLOSEBECCTF -- the First Local Obscure SouthEastern Box Elder County Cachers To Find! Well, maybe not as "obscure" as the rest of the cachers in the puzzle.
