Andronicus Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 They may not realize they will be concerned about it in the future. When I found cache #1, I had no idea I would ever find cache #2. What were the contents of that first log? I bet you wrote more than ftf so you were covered anyway. ... What was your first Found log? Here is mine nice hike. my 3year old started whining though. Hmmm... Not great, but better than "TFTC" or "" How does your first log stack up? Quote Link to comment
mresoteric Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Great day for a nice hike in the park. Took me a little while to find it though. I had the coordinates in wrong to begin with. After my wife figured that out, it didn't take us long to find the cache. Quote Link to comment
+radak9 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Our first ever cache find :-) Fitting it should be in Lake George, our favorite vacation destination. TFTC!Found it 1 day after first hearing about Geocaching while camping in Lake George, using a borrowed Etrex from the campground and inputting coords manually for each cache. Quote Link to comment
+thecaswellfamily Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Our first geocache! Thankyou to Tara and Allen for introducing us to this pasttime... our kids love it! We signed the log book, and our daughter left a teddy bear, took a pink frog pencil sharpener. Beautiful views here... TFTC! I want to clarify that the friends who introduced us, who were also newbies at the time, told us to keep our logs as brief as possible, and that we should learn all of the acronyms and use them as much as possible! I actually thought it was BAD to write more, but I just couldn't help myself... I am afraid it has only gotten worse with time, LOL! Edited to add the pretty little quote box that everybody else has.

+Mr. Wilson & a Mt. Goat Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I like this cache, considering it's my first. Nice walk/hike to get there. Well done, now I should create one like it! Not bad for a first log... Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 My first "real" log was actually on my eighth find (a little over a month after my first find). Up until then, my husband and I had a joint account. I went back and basically cut and paste my previous logs when I got my own account, but years later I edited most of those. "First" log: This is my first logged visit under Ambrosia. I've been logging under all41, which is usually my husband and children, Bugaboo and Kboy. This cache I did technically by myself because all41 has already done it. But he was watching me, and Flyboy had given me a few hints. Oh,well, I would of had a hard time in the middle of the night with a flashlight. I took a cd and left a Our little friend. My logs got longer and longer after that, peaking out in my best year, 2006, where some of them had to be divided into two logs because they were so long. After that, I got too sick to log or cache much, and I'm still catching up on all my logs for the past three years. All because I can't bring myself to post short logs. My recent logs seem very short to me, knowing what I used to do, but they're still more than TNLN. Also, my daughter changed her name a little while after this, now it's Water Lily. Some of the older logs still list her as Bugaboo, a pet name from her Nana, Patudles. But there is another somewhat local cacher with the same name, and she also realized that she may not want that name when she grew up. Her current name is a play on her real name, like mine is. So is my son's, in a way, I suppose. Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) TheAlabamaRambler found [Traditional Cache] The Mountie Cache Sunday, 17 August 2003 Alabama The Mountie Cache was my first find, though it was a snap as I went to this school in the early seventies and my son goes to the new Shades Valley. This spot was open back then already - great hide for newbies. Although I knew the roads I let my eTrex lead the way - took me right to it. The cache has a hole in the bottom, so everything's somewhat wet - water standing in the container bottom and all zip-lock bags had been left open. I dried everything as well as possible with paper towels, logged my visit, took nothing (although this cache is jammed full of goodies) and left a ceramic black bear from Tennessee. Have fun. Too funny - I had forgotten that my first find was waterlogged. It's still active today, 411 finds since 8/11/02 Edited June 7, 2011 by TheAlabamaRambler Quote Link to comment
+hurleyanne Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 My first find! I took my friend Tanya with me, and found such a pretty park! We thought we might have seen a skunk scampering into the bush, but we came out unscathed. T coin L window cleaner cloth SL And there's even a photo of me where the cache was hidden! T-shirt and shorts! Hardly ever wear that caching - now it's usually wide-brimmed hat (or ball cap plus mosquito netting), long-sleeved t-shirt, jeans tucked into socks, hiking boots, and suede gardening gloves. If I had kids they'd be mortified at how un-cool I look... Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 My first-ever cache! I've been crashing through these woods for years while doing orienteering, and always wondered what the tupperware containers that I was tripping over were for. After circling around the cache and checking all the ludicrously impossible places where the cache might be (up trees, in the densest thickets, etc.), finally I resorted to the hint (hey, I'm a beginner!), and finally found it. Nicely stashed. It's quite a challenge, BTW, to keep from flailing madly at the mosquitoes while people are so close by. Took an Inukshuk pin, left a Peruvian dancers pin, poured out a bit of water and dried everything out as best I could before resealing it very carefully and restashing. I noticed it's easy to close the lid over a corner of a ziploc baggie or whatever; maybe that's how the water gets in. (Both the caches I visited tonight had a bit of water). Thanks for the fine cache to get me started! I think I'm going to have fun with this sport. That was 2005. I'm just as wordy nowadays; I seem to be incapable of noticing a trend...

I obviously did not say much but then again, I was given a tour of my first cache from the owner and did not know much of what was going on in this hobby. I learned later to say more in my logs and eventually irk some folks who do not get sarcasm. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 SkaterUncle introduced a group of us to geocaching today. This was our first cache, and I was the one who found it. Took a pencil, left a pewter pin. TFTC!Thanks for the trip down memory lane. That first cache is still the largest cache I've found. Quote Link to comment
+WRASTRO Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 December 26, 2003 by WRASTRO (3012 found) GPS system was Christmas present and this was our first cache. Knew the park so finding it was easy. The contents of the container were damp, but we were able to sign log book. TNLN Decided to add this one since our daughter is now 18 and graduates from high school next week. What a ride! December 26, 2003 by WRASTRO (3012 found) Walked the path and went a bit too far. Once the coordinates settled down we found the cache. Took a long orange stick which makes funny noises when turned upside down. The stick is providing infinite entertainment for our 10 year old daughter. Signed the log and left LOTR trading cards!

+redsox_mark Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 14/03/2009 by redsox_mark My first cache. I went out with friends; they then had me create an account and told me to log my finds. I had never looked at a cache page before and had no idea what to say. Very quickly I caught on though... Quote Link to comment

+Harry Dolphin Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I know the area well. I maintain Terrace Pond North Trail (the blue trail), so it seemed like an easy beginning attempt. (And a big hug to all who had kind words to say about the trail maintenance.) I needed to take out six cherry trees that bears had knocked over onto the trail anyway.The 'Go To' feature on my Garmin Etrex seemed to lead my astray, and I wandered a bit on the purple puddingstone ridges. So I switched to 'trails', and found it fairly quickly. I left a small dolphin, and took out two dead AA batteries. (Is that part of cache in, cache out?) And, yes, this area is part of Wawayanda State Park. Swimming is strictly forbidden. Two people have drowned here in the last two years. Hmmm... Rather wordy for me! Quote Link to comment
+Doctroid Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I was looking for a place to plant a letterbox... found the perfect spot... almost too perfect... Found this geocache there. Kept looking... Which is why my second find was not until nearly four years later: Took me two visits and a couple hints from this site... then again this is the first geocache I've found deliberately. (I found one once accidentally while looking for a place to plant a letterbox... found a perfect spot but it turned out to be occupied...)

+DanOCan Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Sunday, December 21, 2003 Our first find on our first attempt. Nice spot to hide a cache -- wish we would have remembered to bring our camera. We got to go to a place in our city we didn't even know existed even though we live pretty close to it. TNLN -- just signed the log. The wind was a little cold but the overall day was nice. We will return some other time just to finish the walk all the way to the dam. Everything looks to be in good shape other than the camera and the information sheet' date=' which someone else noted below.[/quote'] I hadn't really looked at the online log since, although as we passed the area several years later I did stop to look at the original entry in the logbook, which is where I noticed the real difference -- I (OK, Mrs. DanOCan) had signed the log with our real names. Interesting to see that I had been on the site enough to know some of the acronyms already -- I think I had bought a GPSr and created my account a full week before we ever went hunting, so I had plenty of time to learn a few things before starting. EDIT: Wanted to add -- this also shows how out of shape we were at the time. "We will return some other time just to finish the walk all the way to the dam." Haha! The cache was about 600m from the parking area and before we even left the car I was thinking "That's going to be over a 1km round trip...there is no way we're going to be able to do this. If all these caches involve this amount of walking we're never going to get into this hobby." Another thing I remember from that day -- it never occured to me to search for any other caches along the way. I would read the cache pages, find one that sounded interesting, punch the coordinates into the eTrex Legend manually and set out. The idea of doing more than one at a time never crossed my mind.

+Snoogans Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 They may not realize they will be concerned about it in the future. When I found cache #1, I had no idea I would ever find cache #2. Not me. I knew I was beginning a long term hobby. However, I never expected it to replace poker, sporting clays, watching racing all day on Sunday. This is my cherry find. #1 and counting. Looked on 3/1 and totally missed it. Found it on my second trip of the day on 3/2 after going back home and reading lvis' log. 3rd time is a charm. I can't count the number of times I was mere inches from this cache and failed to see it. Took tape measure, but I really wanted that Frog beanie baby (missing from cache)for my sister. Left a Small Swiss Army (style) knife, golf ball, a pen (because Txsyank's had died) a home made travel bug, and my business card. I will be leaving several themed caches in and around this area soon. I just ordered 8 travel bugs as well. A very entertaining experience. I'm hooked! Yeah I was hooked. I did cache maintenance on my first visit and true to form didn't read the instructions since I left a teeny tiny knife. Oh, and that affront to geocachers the world over, a dirty golf ball that I found while searching for the cache. Don't go lookin' in my profile for this log. I actually screwed up my first account, (I thought) and started this one. My actual first log makes no sense unless you were there at the time and I even misspeeled my own name. Here is my actual first log on this profile: Thanks again to Txsyank for a great hunt and my 1st find. Had a bit of trouble with my new account. Snoogy Boogees is now the much more proper pronoun, Snoogans. Snooge to the Booge Geocachers. Thanks to Heidi @ Geocaching.com for help in clearing up my mistake. Snoogins PS- If you have no idea what I'm talking about, Rent or buy An Evening With Kevin Smith My second log: (Posted my first pic and encrypted a note which I think was the only time I ever did that. Usless feature for me. I was checking all the features out. Again with the golf ball I found along the way.) [My 2nd Cache Find. I did enough research to find a back door with ease. I was at the cache in less than 5 minutes. Took TB-Cutting Edge, & TX wooden Geo Coin. Left a large block of ASC post-it notes, a gold Shock Waves coin, and a golf ball. This cache is now full to the brim because of the block of post-its I left behind. I had to repack it twice when I discovered that I had not replaced the log. PS - The wooden Geo will reappear in a cache of my own design near Mammoth Lakes, California in the beautiful Sierras. Search Zip 93546. That's 1,500+ miles as the crow flies.] The white lid to this cache was visible from the trail, so I moved it just a couple of feet to a small hole and covered it with two pieces of dead wood. This area is so busy that I can foresee Gator Bait getting clipped by someone passing bye.] Quote Link to comment

Amazing that this and one other of the first three caches I found that day are still out there! This one has 271 finds on it! I still post the coordinates of most of the caches I find.

After realizing my error, I drove back to the top. My Etrex got me within a few feet before I turned around and saw it! There are quite a few items in the cache. I traded happy-meal keychains and wrote a note in the log. Thanks for the cache! TFTC is there, way back in 2002, but it wasn't an acronym then. Quote Link to comment

knowschad Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Actually, since I was the one of the three of us to actually find the cache, I guess I deserve to log it as well (see previous entry by chadcari). By the way, Chadcari (1 found), is the Chad that I know. Chad's log for that day: Found the Cache after about 15 minutes of looking. This was my first cache and close to work. A friend of mine who went along was the one to actually find the cache. Took a wooden geocaching coin and left an important Item used in my trade.

+all done Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) "Our very first geocache. Thanks for number one." Not so sure that was the original.

+GeoGeeBee Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 My very first log was a DNF: A nice Christmas day hike to try out my nice new Christmas GPS. I'm sure I was in the right general vicinity, but I couldn't find it. I guess I should have tried an easier one for my first attempt. If anyone who has found this has any hints, I'd like to give it another try. (I should have printed out the picture as someone else suggested.) My first "Found" log has been lost forever. The cache was called "Big Root Cache" and it's archived. The link in my list of found caches goes here: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=f6e76787-0272-4964-b8a1-1c61a8caf6bf My third log, second "Found" log, and the oldest Found log of mine that can still be retrieved: This was so much fun! I'm visiting relatives in Jackson and drove out to find this on New Year's Eve. The location is just amazing and I would never have seen it if it weren't for this cache being there, so thanks!

+larryc43230 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 May 4, 2006 by larryc43230 Found my first geocache! Getting to the spot was no problem using the directions and hints. Didn't see the skeleton mentioned by other loggers. Located in a pretty area; the creek is always nice this time of year. The cache itself is in good shape. Made an entry in the log book, but didn't take or leave anything else. The cache was Sycamore Sittery, a puzzle cache about a mile from where I live. The business about the skeleton referred to this log, about a month prior to my find: Found with CodeMeister. I got up in the tree and saw the place where the cache was hiding. There was a really weird skelleton propped up in the sycamore beside the Sittery. I still wonder what that was all about. --Larry Quote Link to comment

My GPS isn't that great (it's a TomTom made for roads) and so the hint was very helpful. Left a samll crystal and signed the log as FobesFamily. TFTFUN I used the TomTom that I got for when I travel to unfamiliar cities to find caches for the first 8 months or so that I cached. I found nearly 400 caches using the TomTom until a friend took pity on me and loaned me his 60CS to use until I got my own 60CSx a couple of months after that. I've been using that ever since.

+MikeAndHike Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Thanks Team Amp! This is my first find. I took my two sons with me on a cool weather treasure hunt. Wasn't planned at all. We don't even have our gps yet! But we came to visit family in Cochrane and they live just two blocks away so we figured, Hey we go and play at Whittle Park all the time, we should be able to find it. Took a little while as we had no inclination as to where in the park it was but found it we did. The boys, 6 & 5, had a blast and scoured the park top to bottom. Every time anyone would come by with a dog or just go by they would try and act like they were just playing around. They didn't want to let the muggles know their is treasure in the park. They aren't very good actors, had me bent over laughing. Took a pin and left a key chain. Pin is going on my cache pack. Signed the log. Thanks for hiding this cache. I had obviously been on the forums as I knew what a muggle was. The real muggle not the fake one. Can't believe I found that without a gps still. Makes me think I am to reliant on it now that I do have one finally. Quote Link to comment
