The ABCs of geocaching is a series of caches exploring some of the lingo that gets used in the geocaching world.
FTF - The ever popular First to Find. When you first start caching you are just happy to find a cache and then another and then another. After a while you start to think that it would be cool to be the first to find. That is easier said then done because the more experienced cachers have already set up notifications so they can be alerted that a new cache has published. You can set up parameters of cache type, distance, size etc.
Back in the day there was no app so you had to log onto geocaching.com and either manually put the coordinates into your GPS device or do a pocket query and down load groups of caches. Boy how things have changed.
Some cachers just get lucky and happen to be a FTF and others seem to live for it. I remember my first FTF. It was nothing special. . . a metal tin with magnets glued on that was tucked under a set of metal steps leading up to the back of a restaurant. I didn't go out of my way to be the FTF, it was back in the day before the app and notifications so it was by chance that I happened to see a new cache publish and off I went to grab it. I was pretty geeked about it for sure!
Only one will get to be the FTF. . .maybe it will be a newbie getting their first FTF. . .but I wouldn't count on it 
DAYLIGHT HOURS ONLY. . .NO NIGHT CACHING!!
