First to Find

Every week members of Geocaching.com receive an email that contains a list of all the new caches in the area. It is fun to be the First to Find (FTF) a cache because many of the caches contain a special gift for the first person to locate the cache. Last night Susan and I went down to the Yakima Valley Museum in an attempt to be the first to find a cache that had been placed there just two days ago. We located the cache, but four people had already beat us to it.

This morning I decided to try again to be the FTF a cache hidden on the Cowiche Canyon trail. The name of the cache is 'Like Taking Candy From A Baby', which gives you some idea of how difficult the cache was to find. I was amazed that I was indeed the first to locate this cache which was placed on July 28. The First to Find "gift" in this cache was the Geocoin shown below.

The print on the coin is difficult to read even looking directly at the coin. The front of the coin reads Do You Dare and the back reads Earn Your Stripes. Now I will go online and log my find and see if there is any additional information about this particular coin.
It was fun to be the very first person to sign the log book and see the original contents of the cache.
