FTF – The real story
The Command
I blink. Where is this red blinking light coming from? There was a soccer game on TV, wasn’t there? And what noise is that? The door of the living room is ripped open. stefmaus barks: “FTF-ALERT! Two! In Ketsch! Just five minutes ago! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!†I feel adrenaline flooding my veins and get awake instantly.
Preparation
I run to the office. “The devices!†stefmaus throws them over. Five seconds later they are attached to the USB cables and turned on. I open the mails, click the links and upload the GPX-files to the devices. Stefmaus got dressed up meanwhile and grabs the car GPS. “I wait in the car and prepare the car GPS.†All I see is the dust she throws up. She took the devices.
Now I run to the bed room. Pants. I need pants. All pants in the washing machine. Damn. Thanks rain on our Ansbach tour. In the drawer I finally find some pants. Back to the office. Pick up shoes on the way and put them on. Ankle nearly sprained. Lucky me. Phew.
Picked up wallet and mobile phone. Took keys out of inside lock and put them into lock on the other side. Locked door. Jogged to the car easily. Calm down. Reduce pulse. Don’t speed. Don’t speet. Don’t speed. Speed limt 30 km/h. Whatever. Don’t speed. Don’t speed.
Arrival at Bruchblick
When we turned around the corner stefmaus has already taken off the safety belt. I didn’t stop fully, then she jumps out of the car and runs to the direction. I turn around the car and parked. There she holds up the box already. Excellent. I stop the car by her.
The Confusion
„Now?“ I ask. „I don’t know. There is already something written.“ „Come in.“ We are checking the log. Test find. Test run. What’s that? Who cares? No FTF. Cool. Than we are the FTF. She logs fast at 7:17pm. I enter the coordinates of number two in the car GPS. While stefmaus hides the box another car arrives with a couple. The woman driving grins and looks knowingly. I show thumbs up. She hesitates, grins more, waves. Hesitates again and turns into our street finally. „Ha!“ I think. „Way free to the next one.“ Stefmaus jumps into the car and off we drive.
Arrival at Anglersee – der einzig Wahre
Virtually on location there is a free parking space. I drive in and get out of the car. No good parking. Who cares? I select the cache in the device. Eh, we have to go back? Short confusion. Okay, we passed it. Ahhh, there are branches piled up. They have thorns. That hurts. So it’s no T1?
Well, the box has not been there, but we found it a few seconds later and logged at 7:25pm. Again a test find and test run. And another FTF.
Back at Bruchblick
We look for a nice spot here. Maybe we can scare the Count again. Or meet Feldsalat. Hmmm. Noone’s coming. Where are they?
Two FTFs at one day. Very nice. Thank you!
Found with stefmaus.
