Geocache Description:


This is the seventh cache in an ongoing series, and will spark some friendly competition amongst cachers across the entire GOWT region. The basic idea is patterned on the First To Find Challenge series of caches, which has enjoyed a successful two-year run in the Houston area, and which is now up to the 35th cache in the series. The premise is pretty straightforward: the first finder of this cache can take this custom-engraved FTF Pirate travel bug trophy to enjoy for awhile — snapping pictures and gloating a bit along the way, I would imagine.

There are, however, some key stipulations:

  • Within 30 days, the FTF cacher must hide a new cache, title it "FTF Pirate #8," and place the trophy inside for the next lucky FTF cacher to enjoy.
  • The new cache must be hidden within a 100 mile radius of Jackson, Tennessee, which seems like a reasonable distance that will cover most of the area catered to by the Geocachers of West Tennessee organization.
  • The hider must mention the series in the cache description, and must provide clear instructions so that the next winner of the trophy will know what is expected. Feel free to cut-and-paste the text from this description, if you'd like.
  • Follow the normal travel bug rules by retrieving the FTF Pirate trophy from this cache and dropping it into the inventory of your new cache hide (the travel bug tracking number is affixed to the back of the trophy). And while it's permissible to carry the trophy to events, and to otherwise show it off before moving it along to your new cache hide, nobody but the actual FTF finders should log the travel bug. The travel bug page will thus serve as a handy record of everyone who has nabbed FTF on one or more of the caches in the series.
  • Have fun and be creative on your new hide!
Whoever grabs the trophy next time around will do likewise, and so on ad infinitum. The trophy is five inches tall, so it should fit in most regular-size cache containers, including small ammo cans and medium or larger Lock-n-Locks.


This cache is designed so that anyone in the caching community can get in on this FTF Pirate series. Therefore, it has NO PUZZLE. It is not a MEGA-MULTI so when you find Stage One then that is it, sign the logbook, and log your smilie. This cache is so traditional that it almost is without reward, so I have done something about that. I have used a hiding technique that I have not seen before. No, I did not bury the Treasure Chest. I did not put it in a stump. I did not hang it way up high. It is not in a dead tree. No need to look under logs either. There is no magnet. It is not a micro ‘needle in a haystack’. So much for what it is not. Now for what it is. It is INVISIBLE. It is large enough to hold The Pirate trophy, some swag, and a logbook. Also, it is FRAGILE, so be very careful when handling it. It does have a handle so look for it before moving the cache. That protects it, and makes it easy for you. And, as usual, replace it exactly as you found it. If you find it broken, or dirty, then please notify me so I can repair it. After you park and calibrate your GPS, you will have a general idea where to search. You will notice a short white fence on the left or south side of the ball field. There is no need to climb on, go around, or cross that fence! So, now that he has escaped his captivity from Shelby Forrest, The Pirate is BOLTN’ LOOSE. Let’s help him keep moving because he is a ‘travel bug’.
