Geocache Description:


!$!$! Congrats to frog4peace and Mr.Frog for being the First To Find. Great job folks, yahoo! !$!$!

This cache is a celebration of the great First To Find Race!

Why do I FTF race? Getting instant notifications, being ready to go at anytime, willing to drop everything and get out the door, bumping around in the dark while nobody else is around, getting up very early in the morning and get going, the thrill of a race, of finding the cache first before anybody else, finding an empty log, an unspoiled cache, all good reasons that make it very special. I cached a couple of years before I became intrigued with the FTF race, now I am totally addicted. I lose more than I win but the race makes it worth while. Even when I do not intend to go I still pull up the caches that come out on instant notification just to see where they are and make a best guess at who will be racing. And then check back later to see who won. If you do not FTF race consider doing so, it is fun, exciting and will get your heart rate up! You will not always be successful but occasionally you will get that coveted First To Find. And always remember, the 2nd to find is the first loser!

This cache was made possible by six cachers. The idea for this cache started with GC32H1J which was placed by Lincoln B.. This cache was a recent FTF for me and included a FTF coin and a FTF container. The coin was supplied by biscuit_fam and the container by Nicc from KS. Both are used for this cache. Also, a FTF reward, that I received from GC2Z6N6 by SilleB, will be included. The log that is used was picked up from GC2DMCZ supplied by frog4peace who was a recent FTFr on one of my caches. And lastly, me, Claymate, whom took the time to put it together and hide it. I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as I have putting it together. And thanks to all of the cachers mentioned above who inadvertently helped to put this cache together. The cache is located near the Haysville exit on the turnpike, which should make it a fast one to get to. SO, ON YOUR MARK, GET READY, GET SET, GO!!!!!

NOTE: Inside you will find a FTF coin courtesy of Biscuit, this coin has a unique mission to only visit new caches, meaning you must be willing to hide a new cache in order to pick up and move his coin.

Your are looking for a bigger, better, more unique cache.

BONUS: A Geocaching License issued by the Department Of The Interior - Fun & Games Division is included for the first 10 cachers. Get yours while supplies last!
