With this cache I have broken the curse on myself. Who will be next?
Welcome to the "Curse of the FTF Series!"
The "rules" are simple: but totally OPTIONAL of course.
-
If you are the FTF for this cache in this series you are welcome to place another cache in the series to keep this series growing.
-
Any cache type can be placed within the series.
-
But be careful because the Curse of the FTF may fall upon you and it might be hard to achieve another FTF if you don't complete the task within 30 days.
-
Most importantly, have fun and be creative!
Let's see how long we can keep this series alive!
P.S. Remember, the "rules" above are strictly for fun and not a requirement for finding this cache. Anyone can of course find and log this cache but as a little "fun" added to the game, I have proposed this little activity for the FTF Cacher to place another cache within the series if he or she so desires.
