300th Find

Well, we did it. We found 300 geocaches so far and number 300 was done in a special way. As luck would have it, the morning of July 4th, I was working on the computer and I received a notification that a new geocache near our house was freshly 'minted'. Since we know other cachers in the area have a competitive spirit regarding FTF (First To Find) status on new caches, we knew we had to move quickly in order to have our 300th find logged as an FTF. Long story short, we got out there and within 10 minutes we were joined by another cacher that we knew. As we continued searching, the new cache-owners came up to cheer on the competition. Thankfully, Luann found it and we were allowed to claim an FTF for our 300th geocache find.
Due to the nature of the hide, the cache-owners didnt want me to post a 'spoiler' picture of the cache itself, so here is a picture I took of the monument while we were in the Veteran's Memorial Park.
