+CluelessTwo Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) Hi All You may remember that last night I was waiting for a cache to be published. Well today I got the FTF along with my equally clueless husband. Below is my log. September 8 by CluelessTwo (65 found) This was published when I was still on my way home from Warrenpoint from a wedding trial. Having waited up to 4.00am the previous night to wait for this one to be published, I was a ragin when it was published and I was 50 miles away (Seeing as its so close to my house). So I told Male Clueless 2 to go ahead and try for FTF as I would take about an hour to get home. Male clueless 2 took a walk towards the first co-ordinates but when he reached the tree covered part of the forest in the dark he decided it would probably be bestto have his wife for protection (apparently im scary??!). So he called me and I directed him back to the house and told him to get my Jeans and hiking boots ready for me to strip off and get them on when I got home. Upon approaching the house, once in I replayed the scene from Bruce Almighty were he strips off his clothes clothes ,then got dressed in suitable attire. We parked just up from the Rocky road and I practically ran down to the gate of the path (I havent got this excited since whispa was brought back from the dead), then male clueless couldnt get his torch to work so we had to share one. The path was muddier than a mud bath in places and it wasnt easy to see the dampest spots in the dark but we perservered with the FTF as our prize. We got to the place where the clue was and took down the co ords. We were a little surprised at this point as to where the coords were going to take us, but we set out for what eventually led us to the middle of someones garden in Glenholm avenue. First questioning Gills Sanity we decided to call her. She asked detail from the clue and verified coords. 2 digits incorrect. So we got proper coords and went walking back up to where we had been. I dont think that I have ever walked as hard in my life and then the hill got steeper!! The view if the lights of Belfast was brill & I spent my fair share of time admiring it while sucking my blue inhaler. In places this path is V slippy, this is something thatS important to remember on the way down. Unfortunately I forgot and near landed on my ear! lol So eventually after much wheezing, grunting and panting (TBH even the cows had been scared away!!)), we finally got to the cache location to find a nice crisp new log book. This is another nice one from Gill (although with some help from Donny Moore hence the name of the cache). Just as you think the container is nice, you then find another nice container. It seems that when the Doggy ran away, he got scared and hid, he still has the butterflys in his belly to prove it. At that point when about to sign the log we realised that clueless male (now living up to his name) had brought a pencil that needed sharpened. While standing gnawing at same pencil to reveal enough lead to actually sign the log he saw a shooting star (although Im convinced it may of been the lead poisoning setting in. So Log is signed CT with a circle (which should have two eyes and a smiling mouth), at that point clueless male could not see far enough past the pencil to accurately aim the pencil in the right direction to do the eyes and mouth (or indeed to get the signature straight upon the log). If your someone who doesnt like multi caches then please dont be put off. Once you get the co ords then this is straight forward!! So there you have it, Our first FTF and our 65th find to date! Many more finds to come but we will always remember the night we went out searching for our first FTF wondering if we would be able to get help if we got in difficulty due to the bad signal! lol Im glad we went out tonight to get this one (some say we are crazy) and on that thought I will leave you with a little song..... Your not hardcore Unless you Cache Hardcore and the legend of this Cache Is way Hardcore!! © School of Geocache 2009 Im so psyched!!! It also means that the cache owner has had a problem flagged up as the wrong coords were on the clue, so thats good too! Claire xx Edited September 9, 2009 by CluelessTwo Quote Link to comment

+fegan Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Don't mind Knight 2000...there are lots of people who just don't understand the FTF thrill. It's an unofficial stat that Geocaching.com does NOT track...so many people think it's foolish. If you enjoy it...do it. Quote Link to comment
+CluelessTwo Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Im actually not a FTF person. I have enjoyed every cache I have found and many of them were found 60 odd times before we got to them. This is our first FTF and the reason we hunted this one down is because it is under 900 metres from our house. lol If we hadnt of got FTF on this one then there would be no chance of ever getting a FTF. All the same thanks for the Badge Knight2000. We named ourselves clueless two, so perhaps from that you will get a sense of how open to laughing at ourselves we are. Caching professionals we are not and will never aim to be. We are in it for the fun, and the more politics you inject (ie FTF hunters verses all other cachers) then the less fun it becomes. Different folks different strokes. Live and let live and all that. Claire xx Quote Link to comment

I enjoyed reading the writeup; thanks for the update It's great to see people thrilled by any part of the caching experience and sharing their stories here. I also like the fact that on the same page we have stories of two very different sets of cachers having a blast doing very different things. As you said, different strokes for different folks. I'm really glad that you (and I) have found a hobby that allows for and even encourages that! Quote Link to comment

Lots of giggling (especially when the co-ords were wrong on the poster) and it took us to a garden! lol I really can see the benefits of caching only caches others have tried though because If we hadnt of known the cache owner then we couldnt of verified the co ords. I think that the ones that are tried and tested are easier for that reason. Claire xx Quote Link to comment
+atmospherium Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 It seems pretty obvious who wears the geo-pants in this caching team! Congrats on a memorable adventure! I went charging out of the house at ridiculous hours once or twice before I was cured of the FTF mania. My first FTF was a long night multi. I was a nervous wreck the entire time, always looking behind me, afraid that other cachers were close on my heels. My anxiety was needless; the next cacher didn't come along until the following night. Quote Link to comment
+Scubasonic Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) Congratulations on your FTF I myself love the thrill and glad to see others that do as well. Keep going after those FTF. Don't pay attention to Knight2000 his Bozo Button was always meant for himself. ScubaSonic Edited September 9, 2009 by Scubasonic Quote Link to comment
+Knight2000 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hey, no offense intended! If you get a button wear it with pride. It's all good. C'mon now, you would wear one if you had it. Quote Link to comment
+bittsen Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Congratulations!! I just picked up two FTFs tonight. In this area you have to be willing to drop everything and grab your stuff and go! You have to be willing to go out wearing what you have on, which tonight was shorts, Tshirt and flip flops, to look for something amongst spiderwebs and whatever else might be alive in the area. My word of advice for anyone who is planning on going for FTFs....get a kit together with a GOOD flashlight. Mine tonight had about 15 feet of usable light. Not great for night caching... Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Well done on your FFTF. That's a really good log, thanks for sharing the experience with us: I bet the cache owner is delighted with it too. We're not much into the FTF Race thing ourselves but we will have a go at one occasionally... if it's particularly close to our home, say, within 10 miles... and if we've had food... and if we're not doing anything more vital... and if the weather's O.K... and if the moon is in the 7th house... and if Jupiter aligns with Mars... Lots of factors to be considered first Glad you had fun anyway - that's what it's all about. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+Mudfrog Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 We really like getting ftfs ourselves. Heck, a friend and i drove over 100 miles to try for one just last night. Turned out that another couple of friends came down from their neck of the woods, about the same distance that we drove, and joined us for the night time adventure too. We had a great time walking through the woods, watching for critters, listening to hooting owls, and of course, enjoying the conversation along the way. Just like anything else we choose to do in life, opinions and likes vary greatly. In this case, some of us enjoy the friendly competition and love getting ftfs,,,, others just think it's plain goofy! CluelessTwo, Congratulations!!! Quote Link to comment
+Tobias & Petronella Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hey, no offense intended! If you get a button wear it with pride. It's all good. C'mon now, you would wear one if you had it. Bozo has entertained millions of people over the years and has shown that things can be fun. FTF runs are very entertaining and very fun. If I had the real button, yes I would wear it. Tobias Quote Link to comment
deansusandylan Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 very new to GCing want to know how to search for new caches, this is not a search criteria (o or low# finds or logs) in Dayton, OH there are so many to weed out it takes forever to locate one that the consumate seekers have already located them before I can even track one down to search.... is there a way to use GC indexing to locate brand new caches???

+Knight2000 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 For extra fun sign the log very tiny somewhere hidden in the log book. Then when #2 finds it they think they are FTF and they come home to see you have burst their bubble. Quote Link to comment

Not good sportsmanship IMO and that's getting a little old don't you think, anytime there is a thread about FTFs it seems you bring this unsportsmanlike conduct piece up. Not a very good example for others to follow, Geocaching is suppose to be fun for all to enjoy not just for a few with a twisted sense of humor SS Edited September 11, 2009 by Scubasonic Quote Link to comment

I don't know why you would feel it is unsportsmanlike. Because based on your previous post you are not signing the log in the appropriate spot and you are doing it for the sole purpose as to cause someone else embarrassment. You obviously wait till they log online claiming the FTF and burst their bubble by telling them that you got it, when you had done it in a sneaky way and I think you know that by "signing small in a hidden place on the log" those are your words right?. Thereby not making the game very fun for them, only you so you can laugh at them. That is not really playing the game right, and making it fun for everyone. A good sportsman that gets the FTF would sign in the appropriate spot on the first page of the log, then put it back as they found it. Then as soon as possible log it online as the FTF to prevent other cachers from running out and wasting their time, and energy thinking they are after the FTF, and it is still unsigned.

chips n gravy Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Great post You have to be quick in Canberra Australia if you want a FTF. I have 1 FTF which should never have happened in the first place. It was a work day for me which got cancelled but then I had the issue of a 'getting sick' child. So we went to the doctor, no problem, more like exhaustion. Came home and checked the computer for the status of newly published cache. By now it was around 11am and it had been up all night. Still no find. Gave now 'exhausted' child some chocolate, made sure we didn't have to walk miles on google maps, and piled her into the car. I had that excitement/anxiety/rush of looking over my shoulder to see if anyone was following behind with something bright orange in their hand. Cache was a fun little multi, all round 500 metres. FTF prize was a geocaching movie called "Find Me". Haven't watched it yet, need to get a few geocachers together to share the excitement. Anyway I really don't want to hijack your post, just to let you know that I totally get your excitement with 1 FTF. Quote Link to comment
+Knight2000 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Let's get something straight. I have never screwed with someone or humiliated them. One of two things happens. They think they are FTF and post a smiley log and do a smiley dance and it is over. The other is that they log online not claiming FTF but saying that they didn't see my log. (Although usually you can tell by my log that I have been there.) You can't hang me because I didn't sign where you think I should sign the log. I don't ever "claim FTF". I don't keep track and I don't ever mention it in my logs. To me it is no different than any other find just as a milestone cache is no different than any other find. I don't burst any bubbles. (Besides, Bittsen always has to disagree. It is what makes this forum interesting. Someone always needs to play devils advocate. There's nothing wrong with that. It's all cool. I like it. I harbor no ill feelings. I like the logs.) Quote Link to comment

I don't see the need to keep posting "I agree" whenever I agree with someone. It's pointless. Quote Link to comment

I totally agree with what you said about agreeing and disagreeing. Sometimes we agree to disagree about things that we cannot agree on. Don't you agree? I know you post both ways. I apologize. I do know that you don't always disagree. I meant to say that if you disagree, which is probably more often than not, you surely speak your mind. (As do I.) It's cool with me. I haven't gotten really irritated on hear since a playground cache discussion two years ago. This all being said, I don't always do this. Besides, more often than not the finder sees the log anyway.

How If you are wanting to do something to rub someone else up the wrong way on the cache field and cause embarassment then this is the way other cachers will see you. This is a game based on trust, where a cache owner and other cachers have the ultimate trust in eachother to keep the cache safe and play fairly. Even though we are anonymous and deinidividuated by our code names, I feel that its very important not to mislead anyone as this is deception. Otherwise where does it stop.

+Mudfrog Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Oh YEAHHHHH!!!! (where's that ftf dancing smilie icon when you need it?) The friendly competition has grown over here making it to where you have to be ready at a moment's notice to get a ftf. I woke up yesterday morning around 0540 hours and for some reason, the first thing that popped in my head was whether any new caches had come out during the night. Turned out that two more had been published since i last looked so i loaded up and took off for them. Ended up driving 200 miles round trip but i got 6 ftfs and met two new cachers traveling through from Florida along the way. Even had congratulations come in from a couple of the other local hounds later on in the day as well. Was cool fun for sure! Quote Link to comment
+Knight2000 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 You know what sucks? Getting a notification and leaving right away to get the find. Then you come home to see that 8 others were published following the first. I had that happen to me once. I did not go back out. LoL. Quote Link to comment

There used to be a couple of really active cachers around here (they're still around but not as active) that worked night shift. They used to get a lot of the FTFs that were published in the early morning hours. I suspect that our reviewer spends some time each morning before his real job reviewing and publishing caches.
