April 28th we went and found a cache called Military Hill.<br><br> Knowing the dangers of the mine shafts and 'prospect' shafts we posted a picture to warn others:<br><a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=54b17f66-018c-422f-a292-3565aaeaf7e0&IID=ec6d26c0-4ac0-418c-9475-e4a96143e387">

Wow. I hadn't heard about the girls near Chloride, and it never even<br>dawned on me that old mines would be an issue while out geocaching.<br>Thank you for bringing this to my attention. We often cache in the<br>forest with our two young boys; the thought of something happening to
<br>them makes me ill. Thanks so much.<br><br>-Lisa a.k.a. PoledraDog<br><br>Gale wrote:<br>> By now, most of you have heard about the 3 girls on their atv near<br>> Chloride who fell into an old mine shaft. Ive lived in Arizona for

<br>> watching where I was going, in an area around Pearce in southern<br>> Arizona. I took a step over a rise, around a bush, and nearly stepped<br>> right into a shaft. The angle of it prevented me from seeing it. I
<br>> tossed rocks into it, and could hear them land far down the shaft. As<br>> geocachers, many of us go out in the areas where there are old mines.<br>> I urge people (especially those new to Arizona) to be careful and
<br>> never underestimate the dangers of those old mines.<br><br><br>____________________________________________________________<br>Az-Geocaching mailing list <a href="mailto:listserv@azgeocaching.com">listserv@azgeocaching.com
