Geocache Description:

***25 October 2012 Udate*** This cache will be archived in one month when I leave the area. Find it now before it's gone!!

When I travel, I always enjoy finding caches near any hotels where I stay. I decided to place this for folks visiting the area (though of course locals are welcome, too!). This cache was placed with permission from the general manager of Frostburg’s Hampton Inn. Please be aware of muggles. Hint is a spoiler.

Inspired by the original FTF series throughout VA copied from the Western Loudoun County Series, we decided to do it for Allegany County here in Maryland to spark some new caches.


The ground rules are pretty simple and are as follows:
1. If you are the First To Find this cache, you will be cursed if you choose not to place another new "Curse of the FTF" cache, 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 should contain the words "Curse of the FTF #??..ACE" in the title; subsequent cache titles should reflect the appropriate series number.
3. You should place the cache in Allegany County ONLY.
4. You may choose any type of cache (ie traditional, puzzle, etc) and any type/size of container you desire.
5. You can only be the FTF once in this series, in order to give other cachers the 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 30 days, you will be prevented from ever getting another FTF until the curse is lifted.


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. Everyone should log their find, and hopefully the FTF person will play along and place another cache, but it is in no way a requirement for logging your find.
