    Like it or not there can be only one first to find. You either found it or you didn’t. Really, what’s the difference? I love new caches and always try to score an FTF whenever possible. For me it’s the excitement of getting out and experiencing a bit of the unknown. Sometimes I find them, sometimes they have already been found and even sometimes I can’t find them at all. It’s all good! I all love to watch and read the logs when I release a new cache. Lately the FTF activity has been very high in my area. My new caches have been attracting half dozen logs or more in the first 24 hours. We are very lucky to have a colorful group of cachers and some really good hiders in Ozaukee County. Regarding the original post, goirish75 found my new hide first! Be proud of the fact that you got it before the other cacher because the odds were definitely against you! And don’t worry about the other guy; he will add many more FTF’s to the 40 or 50 that he already has.

    I got to agree with the last post. I think I’m unbiased since I don’t really get into being FTF. But there really can only be one FTF. I see no problem with two “teams” seeking at the same time, who ever finds it first gets the FTF … kind of like a photo finish FTF. I suppose if you both literally grabbed into a hollow stump from opposite ends at the same moment … maybe then you’d split the honors, but otherwise first is first. Just to clarify … that next person, they would be second 🙂
