Actually, you could log a find for it.  The site allows logs to be made on
Archived (but viewable) caches.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Thermometer Virtual Cache rejected :(


Bummer!  The powers that be at geocaching.com rejected my idea
for a virtual cache at a thermometer, which is hidden right off
the Groom Creek trail (trail 307), 6 miles south of Prescott!
I thought that would be a cool thing for people to find.  Oh well...

I was up there on May 25, and while stopping at the thermometer
to check the reading, decided to get coordinates, and set it up
as a virtual cache.  This thermometer has been there, on the back
side of a tree, for many years B.C. (before caching), I first
noticed it in 1992.  Who put it there is a mystery.

The cache is now in an archived state, and I believe it will
be viewable IF you are logged in to geocaching.com, at this URL:

http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=71199

Geocaching.com's position was that if you are able to place a
physical cache at a location, then ONLY a physical cache may
be placed there- no virtuals.

If anybody who will be hiking the Groom Creek Trail during the
next several months wishes to see if they can find the thermometer,
it is located at:

N 34 27.750  W 112 25.526

It is on the back side of a tree on the north side of the trail.
If anybody does actually find it, please let me know, by sending
an email to malthusian@mindspring.com, even though you can't log 
a geocaching.com cache find for it.
