Congratulations! You found a Smokey Bear trackable!
For 75 years, Smokey Bear has protected America’s forests from unwanted, human-caused wildfires. Smokey – one of the most-loved issue ambassadors of our time – and his signature phrase, “Only you can prevent wildfires,” are truly iconic.
Though Smokey has been essential to the reduction of wildfires over the last 75 years, he still needs help. Even today, nearly 9 out of 10 wildfires nationwide are caused by people. In fact, his message is even more relevant today as people are living closer and closer to wildlands and more frequently choosing outdoor recreation activities. Smokey may be 75, but he’s still going strong and his message is more important now than ever before.
Only YOU can prevent wildfires, and here’s how! While at home or on camping trips, follow these important safety tips:
- Campfire Safety
- Equipment Use and Maintenance
- Backyard Debris Burning
This Smokey Bear trackable is provided by the Smokey Bear Wildfire Prevention campaign, which is administered by the
USDA Forest Service, the
National Association of State Foresters and the
Ad Council. Created in 1944, it is the longest-running public service advertising campaign in U.S. history, educating generations of Americans about their role in preventing wildfires. Learn more at

This cache is in remembrance of my working for the Forest Service for about 5 years. I worked as a Radio Operator for these 5 years plus one year as a Personnel time recorder at Trout Lake, WA (Cascade Creek Fire), near Mt Adams where you will find one of my caches that is still in place.
I enjoyed the Forest Service time I worked. I had many call outs over the 5 Years I was working. I got a chance to travel a little, got to Florida (The Everglades) and to Texas and to Colorado.
On top of that I did a lot of fires in Oregon. Which includes Hoodoo Ski Lodges fire and the north and South Umpqua river fires
I resigned in 2018 after the South Umpqua fire.
I would recommend that anyone who is interested look into the Forest Service. The job I had was not hard, the hours are long, and sleep is at a premium.
When I first placed this cache, it includes a travel bug. To commemorate the 75 years of Forest Service.
Attached to a Poker chip for no particular reason.
If you are first to find enjoy the cache and the Travel Bug and move it along.
