[Az-Geocaching] Congrats

[Brian Casteel]

No kidding.  I neglected to recognize the fact that I was running across a 
lavabed at 11,000 feet and wondered for a few minutes why I was out of 
breath after only a few hundred feet.  :)

>>I too, will offer my congrats on reaching such a milestone.  That's a

>>me from a couple of caches I had really wanted to grab finds on.  One 
>>being just a hair under 11,000 feet, but with a 500ft climb in elevation

>>ever venture up this way and want some unbelievable scenery, Hwy 212 (also 
>>known as Beartooth Highway) is probably the most enjoyable drive I've ever

>>to cross the pass and make it almost to Top of the World before heading 
>>back.  Recent snow made it all the better, and I found 3 sets of grizzly 
>>tracks (2 sets belonging to very young cubs) while tooling around in the 
>>snow at West Summit.
