This is a tribute geocache to huntmhd and his first "real" milestone, 1000 found! If you've ever had the chance to cache with him, you'd know he has an infectious laugh that renders any terrain easier! This cache is located roughly halfway between where huntmhd used to live and where he currently lives. Although we're pretty sure that puzzle caches aren't huntmhd's first choice, we thought this would be a great medium to tip our hat to his accomplishment, and have a chuckle with him...

The First-To-Find prize is a numismatic treat rarer than our usual leave, a pair of coins from the Bahamas. huntmhd is a sailor, and we could all do worse than living a Jimmy Buffett-like existence making our livings sailing and singing! Mr. Riddle himself grabbed the FTF... "Tune in next time; same bat-time, same bat-channel!"
