Whats the cache name or waypoint # for the one that is giving you guys all trouble? Michael ----Original Message Follows---- I want to say, I think I got lucky on this one, but respect to the cache owners, I do not wish to give any clues. This is rated a 3.5 for difficulty, they have tried to raise the bar and challenge our minds, similar to what Wyle E did with some of his infamous caches. I think we all get use to the easy caches and if they were all supposed to be easy, then they all be rated 1's. -----Original Message----- From: loran @cox [mailto:loranwilcox@cox.net] Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 10:36 AM To: listserv@azgeocaching.com Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Why use work emails at geocaching.com? frustration!!! I have personally checked out 4 grocery stores, 2 office product stores, 2 variety stores, and one drug store chain. With only a close product match I'm running out of stores. Finding a cache item should not take many hours and miles. Just my opinion.
