Bravo Thirty-Five Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MikeAndJuli: Came by the area today on a short joyride/maintenance run. The cache indeed has gone missing. I'm trying to focus my energy on other caches and events, and I think it's time I free the area up for someone else. Thanks to everyone who has found this cache, and stay tuned for some cool things coming down the line!

Geocache Description:

"Medic Sixty-Eight, Code two in Bravo Thirty-Five...."


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 divided 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 THeSKuLL on this - your first Colorado Springs FTF!
