Geocache Description:

To prevent unnecessary bushwacking the cache is in the front right pole of the three poles of the station "6" sign, 6+6 inches up from the ground. Please place cache back upside down to prevent water from entering. Can be reached while standing in front of the curb.

In looking up some research on Station 6 I realized that there is a lot of 6ixes related to this place.  I just had to add a few more 6ixes to the mix.  This is a busy location so please use stealth from prying vehicular eyes.  DO NOT park in front of the fire station.  There are places to park across the street. You may need an extraction tool to get the log out. Please put the cache back exactly as you found it.  A well hidden cache is a cache that lasts.  Good luck. Congrats to DocDTA for the FTF!
