FTF New Caches

[+ogurtripp]

Is there an alert or some where on the geocaching website that post only NEW caches by distance? I'd love to be a FTF at some point.

Thanks,

Julie

Yes, as a premium member you can set up notifications on the GC.com to send a message to your email address when a new cache is published. You can specify the range for how far away as well.

It looks as though you're a premimum member. Log in and then visit this page to set up notifications.

Set up your notifications so you will know when new caches are published, then get ready for the fun!

 

Be advised, though, that there is a disclaimer on the site that explains sometimes things happen, and occasionally a notification email will not be sent. Last year we had about a week of this glitch, and FTFers knew about the new caches only by checking the site themselves for new caches in our area.

Along this line I thought I was first to find on one tonight because I did not see anyone elses signature in the logbook. Unless in the dark I signed the wrong page but it was clean and the first one inside the cover. When I got home to log it in there were 3 others who said they got the FTF and the travel bug that was in there. I did see the bobber they said they left....shoot....they had to be there less than 10 minutes before me...why would you clain a FTF and not sign the logbook?

If you realy care, go back and re-check the log book. If you were correct, just add that cache to your FTF list. No need to make a big scien about it. You could politely send a e-mail to the wrong FTFers. and let them know that they must have missed your signature. But don't get into a flame war vie e-mail or on the cache page.

When I was a noob, I thought that one time. As it turns out, there is often a specially marked place for the FTF and then the rest of the log.

The CO answered me back. Apparently they signed the 2nd page in the log. Oh well. Next time!
