LOL ... there is one individual in our area who is the FTF (first to find) for all my new geocaches just minutes after they go active and online ... he has been the FTF to find no more ... now when I plant a new one and before it goes PUBLISHED (active) I text the coordinates to my geocaching buddies and let them in on so they can get a head start to find the cache before this guy does become another FTF ... it worked ... MJBAKER was the first to find on the hardest I have planted so far and DUKFAN was the FTF on another one. THEY both beat this pest ... we wonder how he is the first to find on so many of mine ... the text will be going out to my fellow geocachers I know just so they will be beating this guy to the punch time after time.
I would love to see his face when he is NOT the FTF on all my futures geocache hides.... LOL
Welcome to You
Welcome to our blog about our adventures in geocaching around the Pacific Northwest, our little corner of the world. We started Geocaching on March 6, 2010. We are approaching 600 finds and have an even 100 hides so far.
Geocaching is a fun activity for Nosey Rosey (Dawn) and I and we do it as a team. It has taken us around our county to places we have never seen before in 13 years. The exploring is just one aspect of the fun in geocaching. We go out nearly every weekend and use multi-million dollar satellites to play our hobby for free using an iPhone and my handheld GPS.
I (Ed) go by GeoHL now since I am called GeoHotLine by some of the fellow geocachers in the area.

I don't believe it's fair to the rest of us, who like playing this game, to give your buddies an advantage over others. We all have an equal chance to find the caches as they are published. Today, for instance, I happened to be in our e-mail just as one of yours was published. Four cachers, including us, walked to the area at the same time. We each had an equal opportunity to find it. My man and I were lucky enough to find the cache first. And the other two cachers cheered us on, as they also signed. We all wished each other "happy caching" as we went our separate ways...We wish you "happy caching" also as you have an equal opportunity with other cachers in the area to find ours 'as they are published'.
