If
memory serves me correctly, Sparky's Stash was a small paint can that
was stashed in a bush along the southside of a building on the ASU campus.
This building that is located just north across a small street from Gammage
Auditorium. I remember going back twice to find it, and getting totally
lucky. It was hidden behind a very small palm plant. You had to climb up
into the planter area (a feat better advised at night), and when you found
it you needed to call upon your prying skills, because the can was
nearly rusted shut.

Isn't that the one on the side of A
Mountain? I looked for that sucker for over an hour at 11PM or so and
ended up above it 2 or 3 times second-guessing myself. But once you
get close to the cache itself, it kind of finds you.

The one that pops into my mind is the Aqua Fria cache. My
first try was by four wheel drive from the north. At the time, the
lake water was up so high that there was no way to get a land vehicle
anywhere near the cache. My second try was from the south by
hiking in on wild burro trails. Got to within 1.25 miles of it and
came to a small version of the Grand Canyon. By that time I had
less than half my water supply left and had to turn back. I
actually did run out of drinking water, but had a fresh gallon in the
truck when I got back to it. In the mean time, the clue I wanted
from that cache to solve the Chain Cache, had been changed to a more
accessible cache. I still haven't gone back to get the Aqua Fria
cache, but would like to when it is accessible by
Jeep.

The listserv has been amazingly quiet
lately. Here's a question I'll toss out in an effort to stimulate some
conversation.
If you've been caching for awhile there
is probably at least one cache you tried to find several times without
success. You REALLY wanted it but it eluded you. Others
have found it. It now may be archived and you'll have to live
with your failure forever. One that comes to mind for me is Ya
Skala. What is yours?
Any takers?
