This is a fun multi I made for the Catamount Wildland Fire Team to learn about geocaching and practice using their GPS devices.  After we where done with it, I thought why not open it up to everyone to have a little more fun and learn some of the safety steps that Wildland firefighters have to know.

All Wildland firefighters carry a little book with lots of safety information called a IRPG (Incident Response Pocket Guide).  Not only safety information but almost anything you would need to know being in a fire situation.  It is a great quick reference guide!

This cache was put together using the IRPG but you can look up this information online with a smart phone or mobile computer.

The park is a great place to walk around on this fun little 4 stage multi.  There are almost always people on these trails so please be kind to nature and the people in the park. All of the stages are just off of a main trail so no bushwacking in needed at all.  

Congrats to GeoDog7 for FTF!

No joy here today, the only thing I found was a broken peanut butter jar. Today is not my day to find a geocache.

Replaced stage 1 and 2 today, also I checked the other stages and will bring out new clues for stage 3 soon but they are still useable. The final has been moved about 3m and is in a snow and muggle safe location now.
