[Az-Geocaching] Re: Not Found or Not Looked For?

[Brian Casteel]

I stopped in the area the day it was approved, but circled the parking lot
on foot once just looking the area over and left.  My 3 year-old was in tow,
and as Blunder stated, it's not easy to look for a difficult to find cache
with a small child with you.  Besides the fact that at mid-morning there was
MUCH too much foot traffic and I didn't feel like attracting the kind of
attention that it would attract.  I'm not sure what to expect from AJ PD,
but didn't feel like finding out either.

I should note that I had 9' accuracy the entire time I was in the parking
lot without a hint that I was losing satellite due to structural
interference.  :)
