wigoweb: This one has been around for over six years, but the mud, terrain and time have taken their toll. Hope all those who found this one had a good time. We still have others in this WMA for future cachers to locate.

Geocache Description:

McNamara WMA in northern Cape May County. Short walk into the woods, one stream and some low, mushy areas. This cache is number 5 in the First to Find Project series. Wear lots of blaze orange during hunting season.

A little more than 100 feet off the path; requires some minor bushwhacking. Contains items that represent retirement activities.

Unactivated Kansas Sunflower micro geocoin as FTF prize. Also contains one of the kayakerinme geocoins which is just starting its travels. Grab it and move it along.

Cache is in a .50 mm ammo box which we retrieved from an eyesoftheworld cache (GCKVCA) when he retired it. We have been looking for a good place to use the container.

Area is near salt marsh and tidal creeks, that are excellent for bird watching. Several impoundments on the upland edges of the tract also provide good bird-watching opportunities. The woodlands bordering the salt marsh contain a mixture of holly, mountain laurel, pine and oak trees. Within the WMA , a hardwood swamp and small freshwater lake provide additional habitat for beaver, turtles, frogs, and fish.

The First To Find project is a unique project designed to reward those cachers who are quick enough to snag the FTF. It started with clemsonbeav's FTF001: Welcome to Honea Path! on 31 Jul 06. Whoever is the FTF at a FTF cache then has a responsibility. That cacher then must go and hide a cache to be the next cache in the FTF project, numbering the cache accordingly. Additional instructions to the FTF cacher may be provided. Hopefully, this project will quickly spread across the state, then the nation, then the world! If you are FTF, please do your part to expedite this project's spreading! If, however, you are FTF and are unable or unwilling to continue this project, please make it clear that you are deferring until the next finder. There is no obligation to participate. Just sign and get your smilie if that's what you'd like! :) Once the FTF has been claimed, please continue to visit this cache!
