"Horseplay"
(GC6614) has been archived. I went out to check it this afternoon in response
to Frobro Goose's "not found" of the other day. It's gone.
It seems as
though few geocachers are willing to brave the heat, but it doesn't even slow
down the Visigoths of Cache Plundering. We've placed nine caches in Arizona
this year, and have now had to archive four of them. Maybe we just don't know
what we're doing when it comes to placement. Maybe it's just
bad cache-placing karma. But it doesn't do anything for our
motivation to place more.
Say what you may
about virtuals, the odds are that if you get to the right place they will be
there. I wonder how many more caches we could have found in the time we've
spent running down our caches that have gone missing? It may be a long
time before we place another cache in the Valley that isn't a
virtual.
