Geocache Description:


This is a puzzle cache.  The cache is not at the listed coordinates.  Please solve the puzzle to learn its actual location.

 

This is one of a pair of puzzle caches.  The other member of the set is Pathological Skirt Lifter.  Please see the listing for that cache for additional comments.

 

In this puzzle, I have selected 16 cachers, many of whom you probably know, and invented explanations and/or hints for their geonames.  These are intended to be fun and in most cases are no doubt not the real reason a name was selected.

 

To solve the puzzle, you will need to match each geocacher in the list below with the explanation/hint for their name.  Each geocacher name is preceded by a letter.  When you identify a match, write the letter associated with the name in the blank in front of the explanation/hint.  This will get the letters in the correct order.
