A new HH question

I really appeciate the current thread on HH etiquette. I agree entirely.
This may be quite elementary, but being new, I am unclear: on a trip through Rockford, IL I found Jake's Third Birthday ( a neat placement in and a cut stamp). I was second on the LB and found therein a HH - Fastener Capitol of the World - by Laughing Coyote. I am the first to do so.
Question - does a first found HH qualify as a FF? I'd think so, but as the intent was the other LB and I clearly wasn't first there, maybe FF is not relevant for the HH.
Not that it matters. The day was wonderful and as I've found, LB-ing is a great way to see the amazing gems of places a visitor never would.
Just Curious.
Also, as I live in MA, is there a convention regarding how long a ride is too long (distance wise) for a local HH?
Happily,

If no one has stamped the HH's logbook and you are the first to find
it -- regardless of the number of people who have found the host
letterbox -- it is a first find. My view, anyway.

My guess is that most HH placers are hoping their boxes travel far
and wide -- no limit at all, I'd say.

I personally don't keep track of FF, so I actually have no opinion, but I do
have one regarding how long a ride is too long...
I agree that most HH are meant to travel far and wide, unless there are
specific directions/restrictions/requests. I attempt to move them as far as
possible. I also try to email the placer before hand just as a courtesy.

Thank you,
I'm not too interested in FF either, but was more interested in the issue of taking aHH far afield. The HH creator saw my posting and encouraged a long journey as long as it didn't mean a long hiatus in the backpack. Promising that it won't, the HH is coming east.
