Thought I'd post this in case anyone is into parades with lots and lots of fire trucks (new and old) . . . or in case anyone was thinking about caching in the Winslow/Waterville area (since it should be quite busy on Saturday morning.)
Cache Maine 09-13-2007, 01:30 PM I want my own fire truck.
Hiram357 09-13-2007, 02:26 PM I also hear that Tom (from TOS) was going to be on the Budweiser cart passing out beer... (not sure how that could be legal, so I think it's just rumor... why couldn't they have guiness horses??)
but i agree with cameo, I want my own fire truck... with 4wd... :D
hollora 09-13-2007, 03:05 PM I want my own fire truck.

The Hose 5 Fire Museum has one similar to this . . . thought you'd like this one best of all. If you're ever in the area sometime and want to stop off to check this out on your "break" give me a call and if I'm available I'll open the museum for you.

I think it's Corinth FD that has a Hummer similar to this one . . . however it's been awhile since I've seen it and my memory might be a bit vague.
Hiram357 09-13-2007, 03:35 PM so jake.... are you still on the clock??? ;) :p :D
(even though i don't like hummers that one stuck in the mud pit does look pretty cool)

Well . . . my job has to do with fire protection and prevention and firetrucks have to deal with fire protection . . . so I guess I could say I'm just doing my job here. :D
we3beans 09-14-2007, 02:29 PM btw, i think there is a fire truck for sale at the schoolhouse antiques in brewer.
Hiram357 09-15-2007, 05:20 PM Part of this even involves a concert, one that is seemingly supposed to imitate music... a very loud imitation... just a couple blocks away... oh how i love waterville... I think i'll try for the RFD cache before it gets to dark, that should keep me away for a while... (oh, and did i mention the traffic?????) :mad: :rolleyes:
hollora 09-16-2007, 04:06 PM btw, i think there is a fire truck for sale at the schoolhouse antiques in brewer.
Is that truck finally for sale? They bought it on Ebay shortly after they bought the building with the intention of using it to maintain the upper part of the building. I think Mainiac1957 even used that for a photo to log and old cache (you used to find the object and post a photo, etc). It hasn't moved for a while.
Mainiac1957 09-16-2007, 05:08 PM How did you know I used that as a Locationless cache. That was years ago.:eek:
hollora 09-16-2007, 06:10 PM How did you know I used that as a Locationless cache. That was years ago.:eek:
Guess you forgot - I have not always worked as a Nurse - for many years I did Private Investigation:eek: Nothing wrong with knowing the players and who you travel with.:) LOL
Actually I was trying to learn about Locationless caches which I had been told about. As I looked at folks caches found I noticed you had done won and went to learn more.........:D

We used to enjoy doing those. Too bad they stopped them. Needed more server space to host all those LPC's, I guess! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
hollora 09-16-2007, 07:49 PM The locationless caches looked like fun. Some interesting photos too.

i loved doing the locationless caches. they were a challenge and lots of fun. glad someone else liked them, too! i really miss doing them. waymarks (or whatever they are called) just don't compare
