+briansnat Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 This cache just received one of the more interesting logs ever for one of my caches. The log Quote
+Too Tall John Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 What, the firefighters didn't sign the cache? That'd be an interesting log... Quote

+cache_test_dummies Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Great story! Cache added to my watch list, as well as my 'hope to do someday' list. Quote
+Semper Questio Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 That is just way to cool of a story! But it does bring to mind a new caching technique - scorched-earth geocaching! Nah, I guess that just wouldn't be right. But it sure would make the cactus and cedar down here easier to deal with not to mention the snakes, scorpions, chiggers, ticks.... Quote
+Kbdank71 Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 I give those firefighters tons of credit for slogging through the woods to get to the fire. Our fire company helped the state boys on one of their brush fires a few years back. It wasn't easy, and it was right off the highway. Quote
+ZSandmann Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Amazing log! Glad to see these guys know about geocaching and seem to embrace it. Quote
bogleman Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Now that's fun and a good adventure. Nice to know that the FF's & the supervisor were helpful. Quote
+briansnat Posted May 18, 2007 Author Posted May 18, 2007 I give those firefighters tons of credit for slogging through the woods to get to the fire. Our fire company helped the state boys on one of their brush fires a few years back. It wasn't easy, and it was right off the highway. It's not a long hike from the road, maybe a mile, but it is very steep. They have to carry all that water and equipment to the fire. Quote
+Team Dromomania Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 An offduty policeman was attempting sleuth to nab a cache where I work when a fire truck drove up and parked at that location getting ready to do an inspection. The firemen reconized the cacher and found out he was looking for something so they took a few moments to join in the hunt. About this time the employees of the business where the cache is located noticed the fireman and went out to see what was happening. It was at this moment that I returned to the yard only to see a large crowd, a fire truck, and people pointing at me as I parked. Well, it was my cache. The cacher had his find but sleuth didn't work in this case. <GRIN> Quote
+wimseyguy Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) Too cool. That's a great story, and one the finder will remember and tell for a long time. I'll bet it's an even better story a year or two from now. We had a Duval County Deputy Sheriff assist with a tricky find two years ago during GW5. We insisted he sign the log. He even gave us his name and badge number with the offer to contact him if we had any other LEO encounters that night. Edited May 20, 2007 by wimseyguy Quote
