Well, this GZ is not exactly adjacent to an FDNY firehouse . . . But it’s at least within walking distance of one. And, for what it’s worth, EMT’s were assisting someone nearby when I stopped by to drop this off and perform some cache maintenance.

I hope this TB can continue its journey happily. I tried sending a message to it’s owner about the possibility of a revised mission and did not receive a response.

Many thanks and goodwill to all who wander and are not lost!

As it turns out, there aren’t any geocaches particularly close to fire houses in the city of New York. As it turns out, the geocache website does not make it particularly easy to undertake the kind of search necessary to figure that out. However, by cross-referencing a map of FDNY locations I accessed and superimposing the scaled image over various segments of the geocache map, I realized… I was kind of out of luck.

But . . . Who You Gonna Call?

The hide may not actually be too close to an actual firehouse, but I figured this was good enough. Unfortunately, it turns out the container is nowhere near large enough to hold even a small travel bug that carries with it a hitchhiker.

I tried. I am open to suggestions.

Retrieve It from a Cache 9/2/2020 CrunchyBill retrieved it from Ridgewood's Fire Alarm Call Boxes New Jersey   Visit Log

I’m heading into NYC next week and will budget the time to stop by a certain GC near a firehouse I’ve been meaning to tackle . . .

I finally found a good location to drop this nice TB. I solved a field puzzle locating red fire alarm boxes to find the final co-ords. The final co-ords brought me to the Ridgewood NJ fire station. Sorry I couldn’t complete his journey to a New York City fire station but he’s getting closer!
