Geocache Description:

At 582 feet, Clarkes Gap was the heighest point on the Washington & Old Dominion Railroad. The stone bridge dates from 1870s, when the tracks were completed to Clarkes Gap.


Should not be hunted at night.

Inspired by the original FTF series throughout VA, we decided to do it for Western Loudoun County. The ground rules are pretty simple and are as follows:

1. If you are the First To Find this cache, you will be cursed if you choose not to place another new "Curse of the FTF" cache within 30 days, in order to extend the series. As the FTF, the choice is yours and yours alone!

2. If you choose to avoid the curse by placing the next cache in this series, the resulting cache must contain the words "Curse of the FTF #5 -- WLE" in it's title; subsequent cache titles should reflect the appropriate series number.

3. You MUST place the cache in Western Loudoun County. Some of the towns include Leesburg, Hamilton, Waterford, Paeonian Springs, Purcellville, Round Hill, Lincoln, and Bluemont.

4. You may choose any type of cache (i.e. Traditional, Puzzle, etc) and any type/size of container you desire.

5. You can only be the First To Find once in this series, in order to give other cachers an opportunity to score a FTF.

6. The nature of the curse is that if you fail to continue the series by posting a new "Curse of the FTF" within the allotted 30 days. You will be prevented from ever getting another FTF until the curse is lifted.

We hope you all enjoy it!!

******* Congratulations to red_rover42 FTF (and their First FTF)! *******
