Geocache Description:

THIS CACHE IS AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.
HOWEVER, YOU FIRST MUST QUALIFY TO LOG IT AS "FOUND."

Before we get started, there are a few necessary definitions:

Politically Correct

Merriam-Webster:
Conforming to a belief that language and practices which could offend political sensibilities (as in matters of sex or race) should be eliminated

MSN Encarta:
Deliberately avoiding offense: relating to or supporting the use of language or conduct that deliberately avoids giving offense, e.g. on the basis of ethnic origin or sexual orientation

Answers.com:
1. Of, relating to, or supporting broad social, political, and educational change, especially to redress historical injustices in matters such as race, class, gender, and sexual orientation.
2. Being or perceived as being over concerned with such change, often to the exclusion of other matters.

FTF: First to Find

Merriam-Webster:

First: preceding all others in time, order, or importance:

To:
1. used as a function word to indicate movement or an action or condition suggestive of movement toward a place, person, or thing reached
2. used as a function word to indicate purpose, intention, tendency, result, or end

Find:
1. to come upon by searching or effort
2. to discover by the intellect or the feelings

With that being said, since we want everyone to feel good about themselves, and in order to be politically correct, everyone can claim to be “First to Find” on this cache. As such, the guidelines for logging this cache are as follows:

1. Claim F.T.F. honors in your online log.
2. There are twenty different smilies supported by Groundspeak. Please include as many as possible; used in appropriate places in your log.
3. It would be more believable if you express excited celebration while claiming FIRST TO FIND honors. After all, you’re all winners – be happy about it!
4. Log entries should be as colorful as they are entertaining. (I'm talking colorful smilies, not colorful language!)
5. Cachers who log entries that violate any of the guidelines will be labeled as a nonconformist and reported to the proper authorities.
6. There is no waiting period between finds.
7. Team finds are acceptable.
8. Have fun with it!
9. This should go without saying, but in the spirit of fairness, you should bring your own writing stick.
