Geocache Description:

This is an easy fast cache grab. There is a safe parking area along the highway.

We were out for a day of hunting and geocaching. All morning we could see a small amount of smoke somewhat in the distance. In the afternoon the wind started blowing 40 to 50 mph. The small amount of smoke became a large plum of smoke. We watched it with binoculars for a bit and could see it was moving rapidly across the grass. I named the cache “It’s a control burn sir” Because when I called 911 on Nov. 20th 2010 to report a wildfire, the 911 operator wouldn’t listen to me. She kept insisting it was a control burn. The cache is placed where the fire crossed highway 260 about 11 miles from where the fire started. And about 30 minutes after I placed the call. The fire was named “The Turkey Fire”
