YEA! GO DIAMONDBACKS!!! (Stomped them darn Yanks 9-1 !!) ~~trisha Sorry everybody, I couldn't help myself! Just to warn y'all, we have a cache up here that in my opinion is less than optimal.....Flash went to the Miller Creek cache (west of Prescott), and the only thing in it was a copy of a book and a tape authored by the cache hider. (He fancies himself an expert on the trails around here) The first finder placed a camera, of all things! And Flash added a coveted YCJeepPosse button. Other than that, nothing. So, if you don't care about what you find, no problem. Otherwise, now you know.
