Hose Reel Flash Cache

Description
Visit this historic locale for a quick cache, just the way Tuba 1 likes it! Trade your flashes here! A « flash » is the name for the shoulder insignia or patch from a fire department, police, or various other official uniforms. Many people like to collect them from all over. The historic Nelson Fire Hall, built in 1913, was designed to house four horses and two fire wagons. The hill allowed them to get a good start on where ever they needed to go! There is a great fire museum inside the firehall, ring the doorbell and ask the firefighters to direct you to the exhibits. *This is a working fire hall! Do not park in front of the hall – you will need to park about a block away. If you hear an alarm, get out of the way! Common sense is your friend.

Hint bushed!

PLANNING

This was a travel day as we drive from Kelowna to Nelson, BC. I identified 8 caches along our route. Then, depending on the time, I may add a few more while we are in Nelson. We are now in Nelson and I have made a list of 5 caches within walking distance of the motel.

OUTCOME

4:30 PM. This was my 13th, and last, search of the day (5th in Nelson).
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

Nice to see the history preserved. TNLNSL. TFTC.
