I Have Planned A Trip To An Area That Has 3 New...

[+Team HHD1]

All three are placed by the same person. I'm not sure the "unspoken rule" if there is one... I would like to find them all even if I am the FTF, but I'm not looking to offend the person who set them up.

 

Would it offend you if someone was the FTF on more than one of your caches? All 3 of these are within 10 miles of each other so it wouldn't be an out of the way thing to get to them...

[+DeskJocky]

Have at it... The other FTF hounds would hit all three if they could...

[+IV_Warrior]

Don't worry, if you haven't left yet, someone will likely beat you to at least one of the FTF's

[+Team HHD1]

I'm not wanting to be considered a "hound", I just want to find the caches!

[+Kealia]

Totally your call.

 

I've done that in the past, but I've also laid back and only gotten just one (or two) so that others can get a FTF as well.

 

If there are really nice FTF prizes/things - consider leaving at least one for the STF.

 

In the end, it's your call. They were put out to be found afterall .

Around here, if you haven't left the house several minutes before the cache has been listed, you won't be FTF.

That's usually the case out here as well , Git em done !

That's the way it goes around here also.

 

I scored 3 FTFs last Friday and didn't feel a bit guilty. The early bird gets the FTFs!

Go for em. In my area it's pretty tough to score a FTF. There's some of us who work on the road and with wireless web access we find recent hides and pick them up while we work. Then we have the hider who caches with 2 others and when they hide a cache their caching companion(s) claim a ftf. Fortunately this is geocaching we're talking about and not stocks. Look at what they did to Martha Stewart for that inside information.

If you're there, find 'em. Around here, the time you spent asking the question would do you out of the FTF, most likely, though boat caches sometimes go a while unfound.

 

Then we have the hider who caches with 2 others and when they hide a cache their caching companion(s) claim a ftf.

I've changed the way I do that. When hiking/hiding with others, we separate to hide, then hunt each others (beta test) but DON"T sign the logs or log the finds online until after the cache has been listed and found by others. That way the FTF is there for somebody, and we can still log a find.

[+Team HHD1]

Hopefully I can be the FTF on at least one of em... The caches are kinda out of the way for most folks and the sport isn't real popular around these parts to strong. (yet)

 

Thanks for your input!

[+Miragee]

I finally got a FTF the other day on a cache that had been listed for a day.

 

However, I had to hike three miles and up and back down an elevation change of 1600 feet to be FTF.
