Cache is not at listed coordinates

Congrats to TatteredShoes on the FTF!

Introduction:
A new cache was just published! 5 Geocachers (that included 4Wheeler and FasterCacher) got the published email and ran out of the house in an attempt to be the First to Find. Each cacher has logged a different number of finds, the smallest of which is 83 finds. They each use a different GPS receiver, one of which was the eXplorist. "Peculiar Penguin" was one of the 5 different travel bugs grabbed from the cache.

From the clues below determine which cacher logged the the newly published cache in which order, what GPSr they used, what travel bug they took, and how many find they each had.


Clues:
1. The cachers, in the order they found the cache, were: Someone other than CouchTater, RckClmr, the cacher with 1526 finds, the cacher that uses the Oregon, and finally the cacher that picked up the "Forgot the Crackers" travel bug
2. The cacher that uses the Nuvi found the cache immediately after the cacher with 3434 finds and immediately before the cacher that uses the Triton
3. 4Wheeler picked up the "Wensleydale Cheese" Travel Bug
4. The Fifth to find has the fewest number of finds
5. The Fourth to find wasn't CouchTater, and CouchTater didn't pick up the "To the Moon," (that was NightCacher) or the "Forgot the Crackers" Travel Bugs
6. The cacher with 845 finds picked up the "Model Train" Travel bug, and got to the cache before the one with 164 finds
7. The "Wensleydale Cheese" Travel Bug was found with the Colorado


Solution Grid:



Coordinates:
After you have completed solving the puzzle grid, add up the values of each true mark for each letter. For example: Consider if the FTF was CouchTater, with the Nuvi, who took the "To the Moon" TB, and had 3434 finds. Then A=1+6+11+16=34

N (G+H-P) (J-O-M+R).[(D+R+S+T+P)*(Q+R)]
W (A+B+I-P) (F+K+N+S+P).[(C+C+E+E+L-P)*P]

Took the rental car down the path. Checked the wrong structure at first, before trusting the coords and spotting the container with camo in a logical place. Thanks!

Beautiful evening. Saw this rainbow. Found the cache quickly.

I like this type of puzzle. Made a mistake on the 2nd phase but quickly identified the issue. There was a super pretty rainbow out as we signed the log.

Finally got serious about trying to solve this puzzle. Thought it looked too difficult, but once I started it all fell into place. Out today finding caches and signed the log. TFTC.

I signed the log a few days ago with lasouthpaw,but hadn't done the puzzle. I really enjoy logic puzzles and this was one of the more complex ones I've completed. Thanks for the grid! TFTC! We left a replacement container in what we thought matched a previous logger's description. This gets a favorite.

Peace love pi and I met up to solve some puzzles this morning and decided to make a quick run this afternoon to sign some logs. I have to admit, I love logic puzzles. They are by far my favorite. I remember being introduced to them in 5th grade. It wasn't long before the teacher had copied the entire book for me, one puzzle at a time. I can hold my own with Sudoku, too, and I tend to consider them a logic puzzle in a different format. We couldn't find the cache in our initial search, even after widening our search perimeter. We read jasperdakota's log and looked for places like the log described and still came up with nada. So, like jasperdakota we decided to make a replacement. Thanks for the puzzle! Find #2785.

Out grabbing some caches with Blackfire5th after lunch in town. Solved this one a while back after a bit of mind stretching consideration of the puzzle. Thanks for the fun puzzle and the hide! Gets a favorite point.

Thanks for the fun puzzle! Couldn't find the cache. Left a camoed FC under a rock.

Solved this nice little one a few weeks back, out collecting puzzles today. Thanks for the hide, cache in good shape. Dipping my coin.
