Payson is our favorite summertime caching location. Well, maybe a close =
second to Prescuit (sorry Trisha), and you don't have to put up with =
I-17 on Sunday evenings.
There is a broad range of terrain and difficulty, and some fantastic =
country. The Rim caches and those in the Clear Creek area are among the =
best. If you haven't cached Payson, you've missed some great seeks
All Payson needs is a range of good restaurants like Zuma's or Gurley =
Street Grill in Prescuit. The Oaks (?) is nice and there is a new =
Mexican place in the Swiss Village, but gastronomically it has a ways to =
go. (Boy, am I going to hear about this.)

Ken, that's an excellent idea, and I didn't know about the fuel price =
difference there. I've been avoiding caching for the most part because =
I can't stomach such a huge increase in my gas budget caching around =
town. I could make a very full day of caching if I took off to the high =
country for a day and it would be a welcome trip.

fuel tank prior to leaving Payson.
