Five local geocachers (Swamp_Fox (A), MaidRobin (B), Milori_Yoda (C), PlainsOrc (D) and GrandT42 (E)) recently got together at a Community Celebration, and each told a thrilling tale of why they didn’t get FTF on a field puzzle cache placed by the notorious E.F.V. gang (one got trapped by a flash flood in a slot canyon.) From the information below, can you find the tales they each told, as well as how many geocaches they’ve each found so far?
- Swamp_Fox, who had to bushwhack around a nest of poison-spitting gila monsters in the rocks, found five times as many geocaches as the man whose geodog regretted getting curious about a black and white “kitty” on the trail.
- The two women (MaidRobin and PlainsOrc) amassed a total of 900 geocaches.
- PlainsOrc found 100 fewer geocaches than the one who got delayed by a muggle spouse with a honey-do list.
- The three men are Swamp_Fox, the one whose phone’s GPS misdirected him into a cattle drive on a dangerous mountain road, and the one who found 2500 geocaches.
- GrandT42 didn’t find the fewest number of geocaches.
- The cachers had found a total of 16000 geocaches by the time of the event.

Congratulations to Oreoshakers and TireRubber who applied a little logic for a FTF on a late night adventure!
