*** You Do Not Have To Hide A Cache To Be FTF On This Cache

THE SERIES:
This is the 8th cache in an ongoing series that will spark a
friendly competition amongst cachers across the entire GOWT region.
The basic idea is patterned on the First To Find Championship
series of caches in the Houston area.
The premise is pretty straightforward: the first finder of this
cache can take this custom-engraved FTF All Star travel bug trophy
with them to enjoy for awhile — snapping pictures and gloating a
bit along the way, I would imagine.
There are no requirements to hunt or log this cache. If you WANT
to participate in the continuation of this series, you MAY do the
following:
Within 30 days, the FTF cacher can, if they are so inclined,
hide a new cache, title it "FTF All Star #9," and place the trophy
inside for the next lucky FTF cacher to enjoy. If not, you can
place the TB anywhere in the GOWT area for others to find.
The series is centered 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 can mention the series in the cache description. 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 All
Star trophy from this cache and dropping it into the inventory of
your new cache hide (the travel bug tracking number is affixed to
the bottom 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 IF you choose to join
the series!
Whoever grabs the trophy next time around will do likewise, and
so on ad infinitum. The trophy is six inches tall, so it should fit
in most regular-size cache containers, including small ammo cans
and medium or larger Lock-n-Locks.
The same person can grab the trophy more than once, of course,
but hopefully the series will encourage some of the newer cachers
to join the excitement of the FTF hunt. And while there are no
restrictions on the type or difficulty of each new hide, if the
Houston-area series is any indication there will likely be a good
percentage of challenging puzzles and multicaches in the mix, with
each new hider trying to come up with some off-the-wall twist to
stump their fellow cachers.
THE CACHE:
You are looking for a Lock&Lock containing a log book, some
trade items and, of course, the trophy TB for FTF.
There has been some concern that
this cache was near some railroad tracks. The railroad tracks have
been removed for the CSX rails to trails program. No danger from
train-traveling muggles !
