I have a ways to go before I've bagged all the
higher elevation caches, in particular, the White Mountain caches. On
a recent trip to Reservation Lake, I was impressed with the relatively
high number of caches in the area. Most of which looked like they
required
at least a small approach. We only had time for two caches, this last
trip,
next time I would like to plan a caching only trip. If you haven't
been to the White Mountain lately, now is a great time to head up in
that area,
there is lots of water and it is very green and cool. BTW, I did take
up a
new cache container and I did stash it. It is ripe and ready for a
first
finder.

I wish there were more caches popping up in
the Tucson area. Though, there are a few teams in Tucson regularly
generating quality caches, still it is no were close to the rate in
the Phoenix
area.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] How to get more
geocaches in other parts of Arizona, like Flagstaff?
It's miserably hot, too hot for geocaching. So I thought
I'd share another one of my watch list caches from another state. I
think you
might find it amusing. Plus anything with water and greenery I find
appealing
now, especially since my plants are all yellow and dying.
I've been recording the new caches that are being posted, and it
seems
that new urban caches in the Phoenix area (where it is very hot) are
appearing
almost every day. However, there are few new caches appearing in
the
Flagstaff area, where the weather is a lot cooler. For example,
this
search shows only 63 caches within 25 miles of Flagstaff (compared
to more
than 400 for some Phoenix-area zip codes) and no new caches posted
within the
last 10 days.
I would like to see more geocaches in the cooler elevations of
Arizona,
rather than just in the Phoenix area. How can we promote a greater
and
more equitable geographic distribution of caches throughout
Arizona? I
like caches close to home, but I also would like to see a greater
variety and
distribution of caches throughout the entire state, not just close
to the big
metropolitan area.
On my next trip to the Flagstaff area, I intend to bring a new cache
container with me and I will put a new cache somewhere in the high,
cool pine
country of northern Arizona.
