This TeamCBx2 letter of responce.



I first heard of your article Scavenger hunt threatens archaeological sites
from a co-worker that knows that I "play the game". She stated "its not
good."
I know that you have had numerous emails and to rehash what they said would
be redundant.
We TeamCBx2 have been cachers for 11/2 years and have found over 200 caches
in AZ.
It has lead us to places we would have never have taken the time to see, or
even knew existed.  It has lead us to enjoy and respect the nature we are
hiking through.
I have a hard time with geocaching taking the blame for years of people
trashing area, being irresponsible with nature and having no respect for
sacred archaeological sites, but then I guess everyone who is feed up needs
a scape-goat.
If you would like a true picture of what geochaching is about and to see the
faces that go with this sport, maybe you should hold a meeting where we as a
group could defend our selves.  I know that you have responded with "Call
me" to other emails.
So this is my call to you.

Thank you,
Team CBx2
