You better start finding the hard ones if you want to be the first to grab my second place posistion there in Arizona. Think native tongue for key and decryption using letter substitution. Also thanks hiding yours after I left. I took a look at the topos and it looks like it's going to be another easy one like Lost Ark. And you know me I would have had to have gone for it. Caching is a little different here. Caches buried in swap land and in the sand. But I've learned one thing. Look in the hollow of the tree. I'm already starting trouble here. Had a cache archived. I know bad bad thing to do. But then it was within posted private property, in an abandend wast treatment facility. Open manhole covers, missing grates, and stagnent water everywhere. This one was the most dangerous cache I've come across yet.

It seems are beloved sport/hobby has become a way of life for many people and lost site of the true reason most of us started geocaching in the first place. How many people have simply stopped reading the emails without voicing their concerns as did our newest members? How many other new people will shy away due to the negative almost professional like attitude people are now taking? I think we all started to enjoy the adventure and finding spots we never knew existed in our great state. Along the way we have been lucky to meet some really great people.

There are, however, a few things that need to be taken seriously, for the benefit of ALL in geocaching; hence, the upcoming meeting with the "land supervisors," as an example. While geocaching IS a hobby/sport, some more serious than for others, there are a few issues that need to be addressed. And addressing these issues, in my opinion, is best done by those with a "professional" attitude (which is a positive thing.) That's my 2 cents, since we all have a right to voice an opinion, I think.

GeoBuddy will let you merge the downloads into a single file. But, if you DO download the azgeocaching waypoint file, are you aware that in EasyGPS you can just CTRL-click on the waypoints you want, then right click, and only download the selected waypoints into your GPS? You can do one waypoint or several. And if I'm not understanding what you're trying to accomplish, straighten me out.

The cache here was placed by a guy with only 2 finds and was in a very wrong and dangerous location. It's marked unavailable now so hopefully the problem will be corrected. I know some people will think it is wrong to question someone's placement of a cache but when there is something truly wrong with a cache we need to speak up. We don't need to give the media another reason to pick on our game.

Of, relating to, engaged in, or suitable for a profession: lawyers, doctors, and other professional people. 2. Conforming to the standards of a profession: professional behavior. 3. Engaging in a given activity as a source of livelihood or as a career: a professional writer. 4. Performed by persons receiving pay: professional football. 5. Having or showing great skill; expert: a professional repair job. Because I'm confused as to what a "professional attitude" is; about something that is not sanctioned, endorsed, certified or by any other standard: regulated. How does a person not living in and around Arizona judge those things that are good for Arizona? Should we also judge/regulate those things for European countries/ Asian countries whose beliefs and cultures are different from ours yet are apart of the Geocache? I am just asking a question as a person who has been exposed to many "types" of cultures and because of this, I would no sooner tell others to what they can and/or can not do as I would tell them how to vote or prey. It may seem like an extreme position from your perspective, but than I think what you have said establishes the ground rules for some to step in and start regulating this "amateur" hobby/sport, which in turn goes against ones own belief and oh yeah something established by the declaration of independence [one of those unalienable rights rights things] "pursuit of Happiness" which we are giving up when people are subject to the will or decisions of others who are not elected officials. > I agree, Skydad, for the most part.
