I live in the Prescott area. We have some SWEET caches up here :-)(brag, brag) if you get up this way and need any help, please contact me. Trisha "Lightning" Yavapai County Jeep Posse Searchers Prescott I am also part of the search and rescue group that will be finding you if you get lost or in a pickle up in this part of AZ!
