Welcome to <B>New Hampshire</B>!

<small>(This size of the cache is listed as "Not Chosen," so I can't tell you why the bug wasn't left here in Hollis, NH, but I think most can figure it out.)</small>

  • Is not the call box also for emergencies? Bardi&#39;s TB traveled one town over to inspect the emergency call box and telephone outside the local fire station.
  • Brookline, New Hampshire, USA While the Hollis, NH cache was not able to accept this travel bug, the Brookline (NH) Fire Department gladly welcomed the Fire &amp; Rescue bug.

This travel bug was found in Groton, Massachusetts. I believe it is ready to meet both goals: traveling to a new state and to visit at least one more fire department along the way.
<BR><BR>
Diese Reise-Bug wurde in Groton, Massachusetts gefunden. Ich glaube, es ist bereit, um beide Ziele zu erreichen: Reise zu einem neuen Zustand und mindestens eine weitere Feuerwehr auf dem Weg zu besuchen.

  • Groton, Massachusetts, USA This travel bug spent some time checking out one of my old shirt sleeves.
  • GFD Engine 5 Bardi&#39;s TB may represent brave men &amp; women around the world out saving lives and protecting property, but it had a difficult time opening the officer&#39;s door of Engine 5.
  • GFD Engine 3 There is more to being a pump operator than pulling the relief valve, but that is a start for this little traveler.

Hi KMCRVGeocaching,

thanks for your notes and pictures 🙂!

Especially the project from your sons is interesting! In Germany it is obligation of each town to ensure the fire hydrant can be found. Therefore there is a law how to mark them. Attached two pictures, 1) an explanation of the sign 2) the sign in use.

Hope you'll find it interesting as I found yours.

cheers

Bardi
