We decided to place this cache here because we were lucky enough to recieve one of the free Smokey the Bear's 75th Birthday trackables and we wanted him to have a safe starting point. You will find the cache on the property of the Fire House Museum, please be respectful of the grounds and be sure to visit the museum before you head out. We would like to stress the importance of not only preventing forest fires but fires in our own communities. Please always make sure your recreational fires are properly contained and put out when you are done enjoying it. The cache is a small size lock and lock container, it is placed just off the sidewalk. Please leave as found and contact me if there is a need. Happy Caching and good luck!
