      i found an intriguing cache where you have to find a cache hidden by someone with every letter and number at the start of their cacher name. how do i find cachers starting with Q, 2, 5, 9? using the **** in gc.com yields nothing.

        This information is not easy to get, but the best source I can think of is the members list at this site! Here are some to investigate (you can figure out which are close to you):

        In GONIL (pretty close to you) are Quimmer and QUevil

        No 9s in the WGA or GONIL, so here are the listings from INATN.com

              QCWilly has an island cache south of Wausau.
              Q2XL has a bunch WAY up north.
              There’s also an old but still active cache by Queue near Mountain.

              No cache owners starting with 9 in Wisconsin…

                        OK, I discovered 3 in Germany by 00 Schneider, 2 in Belgium by 08Danny, and thats it! Sounds like time for a trip, Ralph! Note that this is the real owner name, not the name written in the “placed by” field.

                          Guess I need the 0 (zero) too, and not the O (oh)

                            Yeah, I have them all but the one starting with a zero…..very few cachers that start with a 0 apparently…..

                                There are three caches near Madison by 08rocklady. I got two of them on Friday.

                                Just need 1 and 9 now. I can get those on my next trip to Minneapolis, although I did find one 1 near DePere, 1mysticalyf.
