This is sad news indeed.  While I never met SquishyGecko in person I am 
familiar with many of his caches and the self-deprecating humor 
associated with some of his posts to this list.  Perhaps a moment of 
silence can be arranged for him (and other AZ cachers who have recently 
passed) at one of the upcoming events. 

On the other hand, it wasn't too long ago that I read a post on this 
list about a back-fire getting out of control and burning the Rest Area 
at highway 87 and 188 to the ground.  I know that to be a false and 
unsubstantiated rumor.  That only proves that you can't believe 
everything you read on a mailing list.
