I sure appreciate ALL the comments that y'all have made
thus far about the "Prescott cache problem" :-)
I wonder....if everyone who has already expressed their
opinion/concern here, and those who haven't, POLITELY
emailed Jeremy thru the geocaching website and
explained the situation and expressed their opinions as
we have done here on the list-serve, maybe it will make
a difference?
Comments? Opinions?
