This is my 100th active cache. My first one was at one of my favorite lakes in the mountains so my 100th cache is here at this little lake.
Fireman's Lake history
Fireman’s Lake began life in the early 20th century as a watering hole for sheep brought into town to be shipped out by rail. In the early 1950s it became the irrigation pond for the nearby original Juniper Golf Course.
The water body got the name Lion’s Pond after the Lions Club adopted it and promoted its use as a fishing spot for kids. The club kept the cattails at bay and maintained the pond and its banks.
Eventually Redmond’s volunteer fire fighters took over stocking the pond with fish and holding the annual fish fair and the name changed to Fireman’s Lake.
Today, Fireman’s Lake is a 5.77-acre city park, with a walking path, picnic tables, and ADA-accessible fishing for children age 13 and under and the disabled. It’s also home to waterfowl and other birds.
This cache keeps getting taken so I have replaced it with a different container and renamed it. I have changed it from a medium sized cache to a log only cache. There is plenty of parking in the park. And as always replace it as you found it and have a great day of caching.
Congratulations to ThePendOreillePosse on the FTF
