Kilo Twenty-Six Traditional Cache
MikeAndJuli: I've replaced this one a few times. In my quest to reduce my number of mundane placements and focus my efforts on more extraordinary caches, it is time to let this one go.
Hopefully this frees up a nearby area for new cache placements! Stay safe everyone, and thanks for the years of logs!

"Medic Seventy, code Three north, Kilo Twenty-Six..."
Colorado Springs Fire Dept. and most public safety services in the city use a mapbook that divides the city into 432 "Map Pages", 1 square mile each. These map pages work like so: The city is dived into twelve 6-mile by 6-mile sections. Each of these 6 square mile areas is given a letter designation (A=Alpha, B=bravo, C=Charlie, etc). Then, each of these 6-mile sections is further divided into 36 1-mile by 1-mile squares, each given a number designation. Using a combination of these letters and numbers, we cover 432 square miles of the city and outlying areas, with each square mile having a unique indicator or page number. When a dispatcher gives a first responder an address, they will include this map page so the responder knows the relative area of the address.
This series of Geocaches will be placed in as many of these Map pages as possible. Understand that there is no way to get a cache into all 432 pages, as some of the pages are on airport property, or the AFA, or already saturated with caches, etc. Each cache will be named for it's map page the same way you would overhear it on a scanner. Enjoy!
Congrats to Zulu113 on FTF (great way to start your day!)
