[Az-Geocaching] Why very few new caches lately in Arizona?

[Trisha]

OK, not to belabor my point (but I guess this will) I just checked the
AZ caching stats. Of the top 25 teams, all with over 350 finds, just
over half have hidden LESS THAN 10 caches. I'm not picking on anybody
in particular, but maybe if those who are benefitting the most (most
finds) would step up and put out a few more caches (no more excuses!
you have over 350 finds!) then it would make Ken happier....?

I've been looking at the list of new caches, and it appears that there
is very little new cache activity in Arizona during the past week.  
There have been only two new caches approved in Arizona since Sept. 2,
while in Utah there have been 19 new caches approved in the past seven
days.
 
There are many great places to put caches in the high elevations of
Arizona.  There are still many regions of the state of Arizona that
don't have many caches. I may make one or two new caches and hide them
this weekend, potentially near the Mogollon Rim.  Don't complain about
the heat in the Phoenix area - the high elevations are less than two
hours away and the gasoline is less expensive in towns like Payson and
Prescott than it is in Phoenix.
 
Why does Utah continue to outpace Arizona in cache activity?  Utah has
less than half the population of Arizona, yet Utah has 1,893 caches as
of today, while Arizona has 1,733 caches.  We really should have more
caches than our neighboring state to the north.  (This has always
irritated me that Utah has more caches than Arizona.  Why should Utah
be a better geocaching state than Arizona?  I would like to challenge
Arizona to become the best geocaching state in the USA).
