Geocache Description:

THE ABOVE COORDINATES ARE BOGUS!
Solve the logic puzzle below and from the answers you can determine the coordinates to the cache.

There are 5 geocachers from different home locations that visited the same geocache in Saskatoon, but at different times. They each used a different GPS, dropped off a different TB, and used a different means of transportation to the cache location.

1. The Cacher from Saskatoon (who was not Peter) did not use a Platinum GPS nor a Roadmate GPS.

2. The Cacher that dropped off Inca on the Run TB arrived at the cache immediately before Sean (who was not driving a Flatbed) and immediately after the cacher on the bicycle

3. Travis was not the first visitor, nor was he the visitor right after the cacher from Victoria (who was not #1)

4. The first visitor to the cache was the one that dropped off Hugo TB but was not the cacher from Regina (who was driving a car) nor was he the one using a StreetPilot GPS.

5. Quinn (who arrived at the cache immediately after Ricky) did not drop off Golden Crown TB (which was dropped off by the P.A. geocacher)

6. The cacher driving the Flatbed (who was carrying Inca on the Run TB but was not visitor #2) arrived at the cache immediately before the TomTom GPS user and sometime after Ricky (who drove the Explorer but did not drop off Golden Crown.)

7. The 5 cachers are: Quinn (who did not use the Quest GPS), cache visitor #3 (who was not driving the car), the one who dropped off Eeyore, the visitor from Toronto (who was not Peter), and the StreetPilot GPS user.

8. When Travis rode his bicycle to the cache, he noticed Freddy Fish TB had already been dropped off and the Roadmate GPS owner had also been there.

9. The cacher from P.A. arrived at the cache sometime before the one driving the Flatbed (who happened to be 4th) and sometime after the Platinum user.
