TGI FTF For Everybody! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

BlueEagle23: I've decided to archive this cache instead of replacing it. I thought that making this be a puzzle cache and putting "Please include in your online log entry the creative way you were FTF." in bold text as the first line of the Instruction would help make it clear what I wanted finders to do, yet the majority of finders failed to follow the instructions.

Geocache Description:


Attention

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates! Correctly answer the easy trivia question below for the Final Location coordinates.

Narrative

I started geocaching around Atlanta, Georgia, where many geocachers live for FTF. Upon receiving notification that a new cache has been published, these FTF hounds drop everything and race to the coordinates. Curses to red lights and flashing blue lights that try to hinder the cacher from finding a fresh log! However, a side benefit is this results in impromptu social events. Multiple cachers show up and either join in the hunt for co-FTF or get STF, TTF and so on if FTF has already been claimed. Then they stand around the cachemobiles and chit-chat for a bit.

I was surprised that new caches around Las Vegas could go hours before a FTF. Well, now you can get here whenever you get here and still be FTF...

Were you FTF on a Friday? ...while it was raining?
Were you FTF with a geocaching beagle?
Were you FTF on a snowy day in January?
FTF sporting a purple mohawk? Co-FTF with a group?

Instruction

Please include in your online log entry the creative way you were FTF.
Bonus kudos if you can include a photo that shows your FTF conditions.
