Geocache Description:

Curse of the First To Find - Northern Virginia Version

Curse of the First to Find (FTF) Rules:

The ground rules for this special cache are pretty simple, and are as follows
1. If you are the First To Find for this cache, you will be cursed if you choose not to place another new "Curse of the FTF "cache within 2 months 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 #22 (NoVa)" in its title; subsequent cache titles should reflect the appropriate series number.
3. You are under no obligation to place the resulting cache in Fairfax, but we do request that the cache be placed somewhere in Northern Virginia no further south than Dumfries, VA and no further west than Marshall, VA.
4. You may choose any type of cache (i.e. Traditional, Multi, 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 2 months, you will be prevented from ever getting another FTF until the curse is lifted.
7. By way of clarification, there is no requirement besides the standard signing of the cache log to prevent you from logging this cache when found.
