Hi all,
Thanks for the comments. I came to the FTF virus late in the game, and really only started going out for them in earnest about a year and a half ago. Given that, I understand some folks dont really care about FTFs, since I was once in the same boat.
But for me, it adds another layer to the onion, and keeps the game fresh and kind of exciting. During the summer, and early fall, the FTFs were falling in bunchs, often with 4 – 8 per day, and sometimes more, and hardly ever having a day without a FTF. For whatever reason, once I got close to 500, lady luck smiled the other way, and I had bunchs of near misses on FTFs, and days when I could go cachin and the nearest unfound cache was a hundred miles away. I also had days in Wausau, La Crosse, Hayward and Superior watching and hoping caches would be published nearby, only to have none published until I got home.
Anyway, I was glad to get the 500th FTF this morning. I am working nights this week, and saw it come out last night at work. Despite zero sleep yesterday, I went out and grabbed it right after work. Bonus was the cache was in a great spot, and I would have enjoyed it even without the FTF.
Anyway, thanks for the comments. I am making my personal list of FTFs public for a week or so, for those who are curious where they were.
