The story begins...

One Saturday morning, a cacher, a very experienced cacher who seldom DNFs, was on a caching run. During his run, he saw a strange opening in the clouds, and a strange frog-like creature appeared in this opening. He shook his head a couple times thinking he was hallucinating. Then suddenly, he heard his name and stopped. He looked seeing nobody, and then stared back into the sky. Eventually he realized he was being contacted by Signal, the God of Caching. Signal told him that he was chosen based on expertise to partake in a sacred quest, an ultimate FTF attempt! The cacher once again blinked, and then asked "what is this so-called 'sacred quest'?" Signal replies "Your quest is to seek The Holy Logbook. Do you wish to proceed?" After thinking about it, the cacher says "Sure, why not. I'm always up for a challenge!" Signal then says "Good. I'm glad you have decided to undertake this challenge. While seeking this challenge, you will have the name King Cacher, and you shall assemble a team to accompany you on your journey." King Cacher then says "I won't let you down, almighty Signal." Finally, Signal says "I have given you the coordinates for ten clues to assist you on your quest for The Holy Logbook. Be careful, each clue will have it's own obstacle, some being more challenging than others. Expect the unexpected. Good luck to you and your team." The gap in the clouds start to fill back in. King Cacher then finds the cache he's currently at, and starts to assemble his team.

(see the stories involved with the other caches in this series)

After finding all the clues and even losing a few members of his crew, King Cacher and the remaining members are ready to seek The Holy Logbook. No cacher had ever made it this far in the quest, and King Cacher was preparing his celebration dance for when he gets the FTF. He and his crew hiked in to where they calculated to be ground zero for The Holy Logbook, and started looking. After looking for about 30 minutes, he asks as a joke "Is there anyone I could PAF?" They searched for another 30 minutes, and then many questions started to spin around in his head. "Did we calculate the coordinates correctly? Does The Holy Logbook exist? Has The Holy Logbook gone AWOL?" Later he says "I don't want to let Signal down" and orders he and his crew to search with more intensity. They searched, and searched, and searched, and searched some more. Finally, one of crew members shouted "I got something!" Unsure of what it was, King Cacher and the rest of the team came over to investigate. Did he just find The Holy Logbook?

FTF is hereby honorably awarded to:
