Just a quick note to the list wondering how many of you folks have had
experience geocaching outside of AZ. It is nice to see visitors from out
of AZ and contributing in a very positive way to the fun here - the
Boca-Boyz 
are the first names to come to mind in that regard. I know there have
been
others.

I don't get to travel very often - but two recent trips allowed me to
check out
caches in other locations.

-In August I visited Austin on business. I visit this city perhaps twice
a year 
and on this occasion I found 5 caches over two evenings - seeing parts
of Austin
that I've never considered visiting. One notable difference between AZ
and other 
states is the relative lack of tree cover we enjoy here - making
tracking to the 
cache much easier. This cache gave me all sorts of trouble..

-In late August - I attended a conference at Stanford, CA - and I was
there five 
days - but got a chance to explore the wilderness parks around the San
Jose area.
I found 8 caches in total on this trip - including one that was placed
on top of 
a municipal dump - definitely the smelliest cache I've ever found...
