Hi y'all, Well, another note on the Miller Creek cache up here in Prescott. I found it today, and the finding is great...a very nice hike in (just under a mile) in beautiful country. I put a couple extra small things in the cache and I think if the next few who visit it do the same, then it can be built up to be more of a "treasure" to find. See the cache page for more. PS...I DID take the trail book out....but it does have a Jeep Posse button in it...hmm..who was lookin' for one? Creepin' Jeepers? ~~trisha ~"Lightning" GO DBACKS!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Farquhar" To: Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2001 9:25 PM Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] Who needs a GPSR > I think I read in Ron's first book on Prescott area trails that Flash was > recognized for his help in the book, or something like that. > > BTW Trish - how's your hand(s) doing?
