Geocache Description:

This is part of the new series to highlight the Fire Stations in Santa Clara, CA.

Original Pre-adoption Text: This is a new series which I put together for 2006. Just like our Light Rail Series, this Series was put together because my son loves Fire Engines. My Father is a Volunteer Fire Man in Kaysville UT.

When you purchase a home, one of the items you should take into account is how far away from a Fire Station you are. By having this series, those in Santa Clara can see the distance from their home to the nearest Fire Station.

I am always amazed at the size of the stations here in Santa Clara, and for that matter California. Growing up in Utah, they would have one main station for each of the cities. The larger cities would get an extra larger station. So when driving down a residential type road, it always amazes me when out of the corner of my eye, I glimpse a Fire Station. As an example, here are two pictures taken of SC Fire Pruneridge and Kaysville Fire Station. Both are set to the same resolution, the closest. Can you pick out the station on the left?

These smaller stations really stand out at night as they have the red lights turned on. I am starting to become a fan of the smaller stations as they allow for quicker response times.

When I placed this cache, there were a number of numbers all around me. Can you pick the right one??? Good Luck!

This is a new series with at the end, you are able to collect a new coin. This series will be a little more difficult to complete then the first one we did. To find this series, you will be given letters you need at each station. You will *not* be given what number they represent. You will not need to leave any public easement to find this number. You will have to figure out what this number is. It would be wise to write down all the numbers you see in the area.

For the FTF of each cache in the series, you will be given an extra Geocoin. And as a bonus, the Geocoin has the correct number printed on it. The person who has the finds this can either share this or keep it to themselves. This is needed to find the final, so it might be to your advantage to not share it. ** I would ask that you please not post a picture of the front side of the Geocoin until the final cache is published **

Good Luck.
