EASY CACHE, GOOD PARKING AREA NEAR CACHE
THIS CACHE IS ONE IN A SERIES, FOR FIRE FIGHTERS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES. FIRE FIGHTERS WHO GAVE EVERYTHING TO PROTECT OUR LIVES AND PROPERTY IN MENDOCINO COUNTY.
CALIFORNIA DEPT. OF FORESTRY’S COPTER 102 FROM KNEELAND HELITACK BASE IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY WAS DISPATCHED TO THE “LAUDER FIRE” IN MENDOCINO COUNTY ON SEPTEMBER 29, 1987. THE CREW WAS WORKING IT’S WAY THROUGH THE FIRE WHEN THEY BECAME TRAPPED BY A FLARE-UP. TRAPPED IN HIS FIRE SHELTER, HELITACK CREW MEMBER-FIREFIGHTER DENNIS LEE CULLINS DIED AT APPROXIMATELY 10:05 AM.
THE ACCIDENT SITE IS JUST A SHORT DISTANCE FROM THIS MONUMENT. I WILL BE PLACING ANOTHER CACHE AT THAT LOCATION SOON.
BRING SOMETHING TO SIGN THE LOG.
THIS IS A VERY EASY CACHE TO FIND. IT’S GETTING OUT FOR A NICE DRIVE AND SEEING PLACES LIKE THIS MONUMENT THAT MAKES GEOCACHING SO REWARDING AND FUN. MY NEXT CACHE WILL NOT BE SO EASY!
FOR FIRE FIGHTER
DENNIS LEE CULLINS
