Fire Prevention Day When: Always on October 9th. Fire prevention week is during the week in which October 9th falls. According to legend, on October 8, 1871, Mrs. O'Leary was in her barn, milking her cow. The cow kicked over a lamp which started the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The fire burned for over 27 hours. When it was over, more than 300 people were killed, 100,000 people were left homeless, and over 17,00 structures were destroyed. The Great Chicago fire sparked major efforts in fire prevention. Forty years later, the Fire Marshall's Association of North America(FMANA) held the first Fire Prevention Day. In 1920 , President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Fire Prevention Week. The Saturday during Fire Prevention Week is Fire Service Recognition Day. Did You Know? Dalmatians became fire dogs because they were often kept around the horses at fire houses to guard them. Remember "EDITH", which stand for "Exit Drills In The Home". Today is a good day to have a practice drill.

Its been a long hot summer in Texas, I've been trying to get out and do a caching trip a couple of times this summer, but it never worked out. Finally managed to get a week off, and am so happy to be out here in Colorado. The weather if perfect, and there is a load of caches that need my name on Smile Thanks so much for the hide poolsharkycat, I really enjoyed finiding this cache!

Enjoying another day traversing the countryside, acquiring many miles and boosting cache numbers and others in between along the power trails!
Nothing better than caching along the back country roads of America! Thanks for placing these out here. Most were in good shape in these sections however i did replaced wet logs and broken containers as needed. Initialed logs

I teamed up with BlindReff and Night-Hawk on what has become
a regular trip to GeoWoodstock for us each year.

We arrived in Colorado a few days before the event and this was one of
the geocaches we found on the 3rd day of our seven day trip.

We used a stamp imprinted with We Nailed It to sign most of the logs,
but there were times when I used my personal stamp to include my cache
name on some of the log sheets as well.

Thanks to poolsharkycat for hiding and maintaining this geocache.
