I have noticed for quite some time now that a few members try to chase down at least one FTF per month. Is this for a specific challenge or cache requirement, or just for a personal challenge?

Of course, if it is for a specific challenge or cache that the rest of us do not know about yet, then it would be tactical to not answer truthfully, but thought I would ask anyway

I'm now at 59 months, looking for a FTF for December It's noticeably getting harder over the years. Update: Now 60 consecutive months

I also don't hog all the FTF's, so at least someone else can get one if they haven't.

I have tried a couple of times now.

Well that is typical, one thing a lot of cachers enjoy/chase and GS say no for a Challenge based on FTF's

Did they say why?

Go ahead, I've actually stopped competing with other's as I've started to enjoy not trying to 'beat and better than you' attitude, it takes the actual real fun out of it.

The real fun is the enjoyment it brings when finding it with others and achievement it gives.

FTF's as I've said are a nicety, not a necessity.

One I wanted to do was the curse of the ftf, so the ftfer has to place the next cache. Putting too much pressure on someone to place a cache etc. And the streak of ftf's was just blown out of the water completely.
And Tom, you snooze you loose.....but I'm sure that will change once you have some wheels

Thank you all for answering. I just had this niggling feeling that there was a challenge cache out there that you had to have a certain amount of FTFs to be able to log. But, there isn't then, because Groundspeak don't allow, understood.

I don't chase down FTFs very often at all, mostly because I am usually at work when caches are published so I don't get the chance. But just now and again I do go for one, if it's not too far away.

Any of you continuing your monthly FTFs through next year?
