Geocache Description:


Who wants a FTF? This is a cache find for all those heart-broken cachers who just can't seem to catch a break when it comes to being the "First to Find" a new cache.

Every cacher who finds this cache CAN claim FTF honors.

Suggestions for logging your FTF Find:

#1. Logs can contain at least three happy emoticons (example: smiley faces)😀🥰😁😃🥳😇

#2. Log entries can express excited celebration and claim FIRST TO FIND honors -  {*FTF*}  {FTF}  [FTF]

#3. Logs can give details explaining why your find deserves FTF honors (examples: FTF after the snow melted. FTF on a holiday. FTF for an out of state cacher, FTF for slow hiker, or even your Very first ever FTF...)

NOTE: Because FTFs are not officially recognized by Geocaching HQ, it is necessary to record each FTF in a special way if you want them recognized by https://project-gc.com/ .  When you log the "Found it", include one of the tags {*FTF*} or {FTF} or [FTF] in your Found log.

❤️❤️❤️Congratulations on your FTF! ❤️❤️❤️

Warning. It is recommended that you cover your feet, legs and arms to do this cache. A hat might be helpful too. There are thorns, poison ivy, ticks, mosquitoes, and more. The landscape is uneven and there are many trip hazards.

 

GPS. The coordinates for this cache were taken on 8/17/2023 using a Garmin GPS and also an iPhone 12 on T-Mobile service. Cell service was very weak. Best effort was used to get good coordinates. The coordinates were rechecked on the return visit to place to container and adjusted if necessary. Cacher’s using phone devices may want to plan to download the caches of interest for potential off-line access due to potential for weak cell signals.

 

DNR form 2500-118 (R 6/06) was completed and submitted via email to Kevin.Swenson@wisconsin.gov per the DNR nofification process.
