   Here's a quick update – Issue number 2 of FTF Geocacher is at the printer and will mail out sometime next week. This issue's cover story is "Barney Smith's Toilet Seat Art Museum" – a must-see virtual cache. We're sending out another random 100 gold-seal trackable magazines and the guys at Cache-A-Maniacs podcast have donated 100 trackable coins for insertion into random issues. All new subscribers will also receive an FTF pathtag. Thanks to all who gave positive feeback on the first issue; we hope you enjoy the second.
