Description
For those who have three consecutive "First to Finds"
I'm publishing this cache to celebrate my luck in finding three consecutive "first to finds".
My FTFs were on 18 and 19 and 25 May 2010.
To log this cache, you must have three finds as FTFs without any other finds in between. You must be able to claim the FTF in your own right, and not sharing the FTF with other cachers.
The FTFs must all be on physical caches. (Traditional, Multi, Puzzle, Earthcache, movable)
Not: Event, CITO, Locationless, Virtual.
The caches must have hidden dates on or after 26 May, 2010.
The qualifying caches can be either GC or GCA, or a mixture.
Go for it, get out there and have fun!!
To make your claim, you must include the cache names and waypoint numbers in your log.
Wally
PS.
I have lowered the difficulty rating on this cache to 3.5, because 22 finds in four months indicate it is not a 5 difficulty.

We had travelled to Geelong for an event and were locating many caches in the area when this PTiaB GA series caught my eye.
Being intrigued I asked Muggle Hubby to stop for it, on our way to other caches.
What a pleasant surprise to find 20 individual caches in the one box, all unfound, and it had been published days earlier.
It was with great delight that I carefully added our name to each log.
It had another huge benefit as it was during a dragon zone challenge and each find scored exponentially higher values, meaning I jumped through quite a few dragon zone levels to emerge a much more prestigious dragon slayer than before.
Thanks for this locationless Wallyhunt, which appeared in the Gallery this morning, and has been twelve months unloved.
My claim is for PTiaB (Power Trail In a Box) #1-20 GA12353-54,55,56,57 on the 8/6/15

Hah! That's me! A long long time ago (last August or so), Zalgariath published the North Sydney Cycleway Series, a set of seven caches between Chatswood and Sydney. I didn't pay much attention to it, it's on the other side of the George's River. However, this week I was tired of life, the universe and everything else and needed a break. What better than a nice cycle!
So, I checked out his series and yes, the first two were already found so that means it was checked by others to be fine. How wrong was I? Only the first three of the seven were done, the others were still unfound! Oh oh, will I take the chance and go in without the possibility of a PAF? I'm a big boy, I'm brave, I can do it!
So, three FTFs that day, including a path tag in the swag!

Three notifications came through last night, two puzzles and a traditional - woke early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep so had a crack at all three and was lucky enough to get three FTFs:
1. GC58XRW "Montrose List 01 - Elementary" by Barad Bunch;
2. GC58XVE "Montrose List 02 - Vapour Trail" by Barad Bunch;
3. GC58RAZ "Room with a View" by DnA!
Thanks for the cache and the fun I had getting the three firsts to find without another in between.
Cheers OldSaint.

28/6/14 Svetlana Plays Soccer (GC57TFD)
It was a little but of time between finds also due to work commitments for Mrs Shifter.
Coords are approximate for third cache as it is a puzzle.
Going thru my pics and records and found this three FTFs made during the Bingo race 2012:

I had a wonderful day caching on 26.4.13 when i drove around to Mandorah from Darwin.
I got these FTFs among others.

GC4AK10 Route 34-o no further
GC4AK0P Route 34-Check the depth
Had an unusual FTF series of finds today.
Found three caches with three clean logs one after the other and got them all:
1. GC50RVV "Giggle town six pack #4 Willow Court" by tx4000
2. GC50RRC "Giggle town six pack #3 Old Bush Inn" by tx4000
3. GC50RR4 "Giggle town six pack #4 Woodbridge" by tx4000
My log explains the unusual circumstances of the finds
My log read:
"Hi tx4000
Had to perform maintenance on "The Road That Should Be #1" and continued on to New Norfolk to look for "Giggle town six pack #1-4" not knowing they had been temporarily archived. Found that out later on in the day when I checked to see if the GC Website was working. My apologies if I have found this cache before you wanted. However, found quickly - busy spot here too!
Sainted today for an *FTF* at 1220hrs
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint"
Never-the-less all caches will be re-activated in the near future when cache #5 is having better luck being published.
But I still got the first to finds without another cache in between those finds; so am logging this cache for smiley
I had fun, they're great caches.

When checking which 4 of the 5 we found we got FTF's on I was disappointed to read that one of the caches has been muggled and the log book stolen. Such a pity as these are a work of art.
Anyway, on 12 Aug 2013 we had consecutive FTF's on:

Got another three FTFs on the 28th May 2012 along the New Town Rivulet in Tasmania.
There are seven caches in this series, the first four of which I acted as a Beta Tester for the owner "Budgietas".
Promised I wouldn't get the FTFs on this four but could go for the remainder in the series as I had no idea where or how they had been hidden.
The three FTFs were:
1. GC3KW31 "New Town Rivulet Track #5 by budgietas;
2. GC3KW60 "New Town Rivulet Track #7 by budgietas;
3. GC3KW31 "New Town Rivulet Track #6 by budgietas

The second was in a gorge north of Buckland and turned out to be a caching day that I will never forget! Not knowing it at the time; feeling light headed, nauseas and crampy, I continued on to complete all three caches; after having been bitten by a snake (you may wish to read the logs):
GC30VR7 "Looping the Bluff!" by red tag found on the 5th Nov 2011
GC2ZJGX "Sanding Room Only" by red tag found on the 5th Nov 2011
GC2ZJFA "No Bluffing, By Gorge!" by red tag found on the 5th Nov 2011;
It also happened that the 5th Nov 2011 is my parent's wedding anniversary - I could have been better off going to help them celebrate.

Just checked my caching records and have found that I have achieved this event three times:
The first:
GC21544 "Lagoon Bay" by Graham51 on the 23 Nov 2009.
Without another cache being found, I then found
TP5182 "Arthur R/tower" by Geocaching Australia on the 25 Nov 2009
TP5181 "Arthur Mt" by Geocaching Australia on the 25 Nov 2009.

Had camped at a place called "Lost Falls" on the East Coast of Tasmania when notification of three new caches all placed by Tassie Trekkers came through. Had found two at Lost Falls on the morning of the 17th Jan 2012 and headed for the first of the new caches as quickly as I could.
The first: GC3AT5A "Great Oyster Bay Lookout" S41 58.426; E148 09.037 where I found a clean log and claimed FTF.
Drove all the way to Bicheno, Tasmania;
The second: GC3AVE2 "Bicheno Blowhole" S41 52.807; E148 18.480 another log with no writting, another FTF with no other cache found by me between these two finds.
From here, back down the coast to the third:
GC3AT76 "Bagot Point" S42 05.795; E148 14.073 for another straight find of a cache with a clear log.
The third consecutive FTF for the day without a find by me in between.
MAGIC!!!
Covered some miles to accomplish this feat, but was worth it!

I felt so bad about getting First To Find on GC2XJV7 Another Adelaide before the locals, that I decided to give them a 20 hour head start. When there are First To Finds at stake I employ the five minute rule, and I had already failed to find GC31N69 Follow the Path #6 by Doodle Bug Oz within the time limit, so I moved on and claimed First To Find on GC31N66 Follow the Path #5 by Doodle Bug Oz and GC31N3B Across the Road #4 by corunnaroad, failed to find GC31N3A Across the Road #3 by corunnaroad, and claimed First To Find on GC31N3F The Old Parap by corunnaroad.
I then returned to Follow the Path #6 and claimed First To Find on it on the second attempt after a total of 14 minutes searching. From there I returned to Across the Road #3 and claimed First To Find on it on the second attempt after a total of 18 minutes searching.
By the time I'd logged the fifth find and returned the cache I was able to get back to pick up the WanderingMrs with two minutes to spare and five First To Finds under my belt.
We had lunch at the Nightcliff Foreshore (as we do most Tuesdays lately), so it was a while before we got back to the caravan. By the time I'd connected to the internet thelandlockedsailor had reported Second To Find on four of the caches. Follow the Path #6 was too hard for him, and I probably only found it because I've got a similar hide near Perth, and after discounting all other possibilities thought "maybe it's one of those".
It's impossible to guess when I will next get a chance for a First Three. I've already got two towards it, just one more to go. I could hold off hunting until a cache is placed I suppose, and hope that I get to it first. It's hard when caches aren't being placed.
Since we arrived in Darwin on 8 June 11 there have been 11 caches placed within a 75 CroK radius, and I've claimed First To Find on 6 of them. I also usually get beaten by the cachers who get Published emails on their phones, or by the ones who never seem to sleep. I think the only reason I got these was because the regular Darwin FTF hounds seem to be out of town or out of the game lately.

And even a 4th FTF.
4. The Chirping Forest GC2P7XZ - 2.22pm
Great hides and was great to finally get 4 FTF's in a row
Three FTFs in a row in Sydney are not that easy to come by! Need a series.
Fifteen minutes later I made an extremely quick and easy GAFF 0 find of GC2N3WC Bries Waroona Wander - Willowdale Road by Allys Angelsto claim FTF at 12:20 PM.
After another fifteen minutes I made another extremely quick and easy GAFF 0 find of GC2N3W1 Bries Waroona Wander - Yarloop Steam Workshop by Allys Angels to claim FTF at 12:35 PM, thus completing my second First Three on the day.
My hunting was delayed a little after that, firstly by placing my multi-cache GC2NAG1 WanAus 187 - Waroona Wetland Walk, and then by placing my multi-cache GC2NBF8 WanAus 188 - LKA Waroona. I also took time out to eat some lunch.
At 2:35 PM I made a very quick and easy GAFF 0 find of GC2N3YY Bries Waroona Wander - To Waroona Dam by Allys Angels to claim FTF, which should have been the first in my next set of First Three, but unfortunately the heat was getting to me, and I DNF'd the next two. When I returned two months later I couldn't believe how easily I found them, but that's caching.
It's hard to guess when I will next get a chance for a First Three, I usually get beaten by the cachers who get Published emails on their phones, or by the ones who never seem to sleep.
I'm also a little late logging this First Three, but better late than never.

I found the first one in the morning. Later that afternoon I was driving to Nerang when I saw another cache had come out so I changed course and managed to get that one too.While doing that one I saw a third come up and walked to do it at the same time. All in all a very satisfactory non-caching day! Certainly didn't expect to get a find on this locationless, and only that I just looked it up to see what it was I wouldn't have got a find now. It's always worth looking - you never know when you might get a find.
