HA!
Here ya go George, all you have to do is fill the container, hide it, and
submit the page.
The cache is not at the listed co-ordinates.
The cache is at the same location as the 384th cache hidden in Arizona,
which is now archived.
That cache was archived on 5/27/2004.
Good luck!
If you don't do it.....

The comical part is that GC lets the
cachers do all the work, including populating the online database, and then
holds that information proprietary, and sells the output of a search script
back to the cachers who did all the work. Well, that and the untrimmed
full text of the user agreement shot to everyone's inbox.
Personally, I would use a list of 2000+ names to
create a devious puzzle cache and put some expensive electronic gear in it to
make people beat their brains out trying to solve it. But that's me.

I cannot answer that question, nor would I attempt to
make a guess. I am interested on how a list of 2000+ names would be of any use,
as the Names are not searchable for archived caches. Which means your then
asking for the 2000+ GC numbers (without the names? or with? Cause now your
getting to the information in a .LOC file which you also are not supposed to
share.)
I would be real interested to see who, mostly new cachers, goes through
the entire list of 2000+ archived caches in Arizona
to read the 'history' when they have no information about the location of the
cache to begin with.
You do what you have to do, I was simply stating I thought someone should
let the new cachers know that sharing that dataset is a violation of the usage
agreement and anything done beyond that is up to whomever.
Discussing it (ways to get around the terms of service agreement) on a multi
state forum is the comical part of all this. :-)
