[Az-Geocaching] XML Tool

[Brian LaFrance]

Guess that kind of makes my work last night pointless...at least I had fun
doing it.  Now if we could just figure out an efficient way of pulling data
for all caches found rather than just Arizona.

Any ideas from the Snaptek guys...or anyone else???  Or is this a futile
effort to get more data.
