Geocache Description:

-->CONGRATS TO CATOMAN FOR THE FTF!<--


PLEASE RESPECT THE SPIRIT OF THIS CACHE SERIES!!!
FTF (first time find) reserved for a First Time - FTF geocacher. Please do not hunt this cache until a newbie without an FTF finds it! Then - it's open game! All ratings & hides are made with newbie geocachers in mind.


FT-FTF = First Time - First To Find
Welcome to a new series of 7 geared toward the newbie geocacher. It seems like the first year I was geocaching it was very difficult. I never met anyone that cached - the whole hiding process never made sense to me - and the ratings mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for someone just starting out.
In my first year of geocaching - I logged two DNF's and one find! It was pretty frustrating. Since I've hit 100 finds - I feel like I understand this whole game now. I wanted to give something back to all those newbies coming in behind me - thus was born the FT-FTF series. Here's how it works. The first to find in this series is reserved for someone who does not yet have an FTF. Once a newbie FTF finds it - the cache is open game. Each cache will contain a prize for the FTF. The prizes for this series are all items that the newbie cacher will need to hunt or place geocaches. So when you drop something off - keep the theme going. Leave some seed caches, tools, or something in the same spirit.

FT-FTF Cache Prize: When you're out geocaching, you better bring your own writing utensil. Sure, we all try to put a pen or small pencil in the geocache. But they break, disappear or won't fit. So - keep some in your car or your jacket pocket. Or, use these little mini-pencils in your own small caches. If you're looking to buy what we call "golf pencils" check out ebay. I got a box of 1200 of these Pink Florida Lottery Pencils on ebay as an overprint from a pencil manufacturer - I got a great deal!


MEANING BEHIND THIS CACHE:: During highschool I worked at this nearby hotel as a room service attendant. I made good money and saved enough to buy my 3rd car ever (though really my first one that I actually drove on any regular basis!). It was a 1976 Chevy Monte Carlo. Funny thing....I think of that car every time I drive by here! I looked for a Monte-Carlo hot wheels or matchbox car to put in here but I couldn't find one!
