Our geocaching family consists of the matriarch, Grandma Ethel, and two of her sons, JCoke24 and Sought & Found. We have been known to take other members of the family on geocaching runs, but the rest of the family has not been quite as involved as us. The patriarch comes along on occasion, and is often helpful with finding caches. We have nicknamed him Eagle Eye John, and have mentioned him in a number of "Found It" logs. The three of us decided to hide a cache in honor of his 80th birthday, which was on the day that we placed this cache. The "Chief" part of the cache name is because he was Chief of Essex Fire Engine Company #1 in Essex, CT. It is the oldest volunteer fire department in Connecticut, and it began in 1833. The container is a plastic ammo can with plenty of room for trading items. Eagle Eye John helped with the placement and plans to keep an "eye" on this one as people visit. There is ample parking along the road and a nice sidewalk close by. Happy 80th birthday, Eagle Eye John.
Congratulations to winslpr FTF
Addendum. Signal 80 for fire departments in the Valley Shore area of Connecticut means, "Off the Air." Chief John passed away on March 4, 2022 at which time he gave his final Signal 80.
