The Challenge is to find a
cache in 100 different counties across the US. You can find any
style cache in any state. You will need a list of counties and a GC
code for each county. This can be accomplished by creating a
bookmark list or using a software program. There is a link on the
Geocache web site for two free software programs that will keep
track of your counties automatically. The links for the free
software and helpful web sites are on the geocache home page under
the resources tab.www.itsnotaboutthenumbers.com has a html export
feature that will give you a total count of every county - This may
also be used to qualify for this cache if you don't want to list
every county.
Extra credit will be given for
those who post a picture of their current county map. Although this
is not required, it is fun to see where others have
cached.
This is a cursed cache for all First to Finder's out there. If you
are the FTF for a cache in this series, you are cursed with the
obligatation to place another "The Curse of the FTF" cache and
therefore extending the series.
This concept is in play up in Fredericksburg, and they have a
strong series running; let's keep our's to the south to avoid any
confusion.
Guidelines for this series are below:
1. FTF'er should place the next cache in the series (The Curse
of the FTF #) within 2 months.
Other wise the curse will prevent you from ever getting another FTF
again!!! HA HA!!
2. You can only be a FTF for this series once. This spreads the FTF
love around, and gives others a chance to play along.
3. Cache can be any type of cache (Puzzle, Multi, etc.).
4. You must include this set of guidelines in your listing for the
series, and include the list of all who have been cursed before
you.

You may notice I have been cursed for 12 months, so I will make
up for essentially cursing everyone else (by not placing one
sooner) by placing a cache for each month I held up this FTF
series. For those who seek these, you may want to hold off a few
days after you get your FTF before placing your cache to give me
time to get my cursed caches placed and published. ENJOY!
