[Az-Geocaching] Seven of Seven cache - No Find log

[Trisha Radley]

Ken,
Didn't you say you placed One with your bicycle?
Not that it matters at all, I just thought I read that, and I remember
during the hike up Peavine trail thinking "I sure wish I had a bike right
now!" :-)
And of course you are welcome, if I can speak for Larry, he is one of the
most good-natured folks around! (After all, he did survive the Pecos thing
with amazingly good spirits....)
