I guess it goes without saying that I'm behind Brian on this one. I think this is an excellent idea. As for the signs, I think I've seen two types of signs out there. There are commercial ones that have the logos on them.... one on US60 and Val Vista says 'Fox 10 News' and a generic blue and white with a short name or message. I would guess that the commercial style would cost extra, while the standard text style would possibly be free or a small fee. An AZGeocaching logo on a sign would make a excellent virtual cache, but that would probably take some monitary considerations from a few of us.
