Terrain: 
| Micro cache with no pencil. Best VIEWED in daylight. Do NOT enter the training area without government permission. |
It's been long rumored that the FTF Strike Team has a hidden
training facility somewhere in the local area. It's known that
they have been sharpening their skills and training OTHER possible
FTF Team members as of late. It's been noted in recent mission
logs that other agents were in attendance for some lesser missions.
When talking to high ranking CIA, NSA and DoD personnel, all deny
any involvement with the CIA or any such secret trainng facility.
Terror Training Camp documents captured from the former Russian
regime reveal thousands of counter terrorists, from various regions,
were trained at this location over the last four years and preceding
the start of operations by the FTF Strike Team. According to documents
and photographs recovered by the U.S. military, the identities
of the teams were not known. The existence and character of these
documents has been confirmed to THE GOECACHING WEEKLY STANDARD by
U.S. government officials. The secret training took place
primarily at this camp and still continues today.
If you DO happen to find the FTF team at the training area,
PLEASE post pictures as proof. To date, they have NEVER been
seen in action. They are experts at stealth and avoidance, EXCEPT
for the poor fella caught at the site of the Incarcerated
cache and being held in JAIL at Get out of Jail (UCI/URP #05).
Did he EVER GET SPRUNG?

Did find a purple string/wire/plastic thing with nothing attached to it. Will try again if we see that it has been found.

Out caching with the Mojostones in the Irvine area late this afternoon. Druid Frank found the way in (bypassing the Grand Canyon) and Mojostone Mike found the cache. TNLNSL. TFTC!

#588. At first we didn't think we'd be able to get to the geozone, as the Grand Canyon was in the way. But then Druid Frank found a less treacherous way in. Mojodad made the find. No one was training at the secret center today. Thanks for the fun!

hiding nicely where it belongs... Was the perfect time to visit, they actually had the course setup and people were using it.

We put our cache-mobile on stealth mode and left it in metered parking without feeding the monster. Fortunately, we got back to it before our adversaries had a chance to de-cloak it and leave any paperwork on the window. We didn't see any evidence of the FTFST being around but there were a bunch of co-ed muggles kicking around a round, spotted cache nearby. It must've been constructed pretty well, because it didn't show any signs of being damaged, but I thought moving caches weren't allowed anymore?! Found this one quickly, but Skippy really wanted to get some training in on the apparatus. Unfortunately, there was to be no fun and games tonight so he'll just have to settle for a double-double at In-N-Out. Yum!
Thanks for the fun point-out,
Skippy :)

We trained. We found. We signed. We replaced. We trained some more. We went home. --Happy :)

Ok, ok! I don't know how to spell doenuhts, but it is Syrup agent Daffy, not sirup. And my DC malfunctioned today and was shooting doughnuts all over the 405. It was chaos, rings of delight all over the place. Freeway was blocks for a few minutes as motorists stopped to help eat, I mean clean up the freeway. All needed was a coffee truck to overturn.

Planned on a fly by with my 007 spy plane but a malfunction of up link put a kink in my plans. Will have infiltrate on foot. donned my UCI Varsity sweater and strolled right on in. Lucky me no Muggles in sight point and laugh. Verry interesting. TFTC!

Doughnuts, donuts. Potato, potatoe. Let's call the whole thing even. A quick search of GZ for this one reveals a pretty good decoy. Some of the locals even fell for it, the "it" being an elaborate set-up designed to convince people this *IS* the FTFST Training Center. Not so.
In reality, the location of the true training center has never been revealed. The overhead satellite images have the experts thoroughly confused. The FTFST lives on, its training facilities still secure. Rumor has it some training exercises took place in Utah, but the team has surely covered its tracks by now.
Wait a sec, did I say "FTFST"? I must've been joking, for surely such a team doesn't exist.
