Well Dick, you've done it. 500 FTF's. So I guess now some of the other cachers in central Maine may have some opportunities presented to them.;) Congrats on a truly amazing milestone.

Sounds like a lot of "off hour" cache runs here! You've shown the rest of us how it's done, determination and (some nights) not much sleep :)

Congrats on what has to be a very satisfying milestone. One that not many other cachers can, or could imagine accomplishing. :)

You have 250 times more FTF's than I do! Or you could say.... 498 more than I do. Nice job!

Sheesh! He wouldn't have been able to do it if Haffy hadn't moved to SC. LOL!

You know what Bruce I was wondering why my found first count had jumped. That surely explains it.

Thanks all for the nice comments. I guess I can say I did it my way. Actually while FTF's don't count for a single thing there is something special in finding a cache exactly how the cache owner intended it to be found. Also there is something about an empty logbook.

So, while I will still do some of the FTF stuff it will be at a much more reasonable pace.

Thanks again for the kind comments.

As Joey Bishop used to say..."Son-of-a-gun!"

And you find time to hunt Turkey too!

Congratulations to the "Grand Master" of Maine Geocaching!
