FTF's are a part of the whole caching experience. I didn't even know they existed until a new cache published near my home and I looked for it for an hour. (It was a micro in a field.) I think I had only 30 finds under my belt at that point needless to say my wife called and we had a dinner date. After our dinner date we met up with some of our friends and went out for coffee. As the conversations progressed we started talking about the cache. The men-folk went to find it and were successful in under 10 seconds from exiting the cache-mobile.
As we opened the log I saw that a certain Doctor had signed it about 2 minutes after I had left earlier in the day.
Why did this guy put the time on there, I thought? Was this to tease or taunt me? I thought, if I ever meet this guy I would sure like to punch him.
I let that experience fester for about a week and then I learned about insta-notifies. I got my first FTF about three days after that and the rest is history.
BTW the Doctor, turns out was a woman. No...I didn't punch her. But I'm sure I gave her a taste of her own medicine a few times.
Smileys are Smileys whether you are the FTF or 10,000th to Find. Have fun.
Remember, some of us vultures have iPhones so we don't have to sit in front of our computers and wait.
We could be at the store, across town or even visiting family in another town and the sound of the email goes off...ding... let me see . . . . . . . . . . . . opp gotta go..........
