Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Cache Placing Philosophy
Hi Jim,
I'm looking forward to trying your Buster Spring Cache - just because no
one has gone after it yet doesn't mean that there aren't at least a few of us
scheming to go after it. I know of at least 2 groups who I've talked to
about it (and of course Team Wyle is probably scheming too!). Sure it's a
bit more challenging, but that will make it's finding that much more
satisfying. In the meantime, have patience. I like a good mix of caches,
some easy, some hard, some just time consuming. I placed a cache a bit over
a week ago that isn't hard to get to, but will take about a 6 hour round trip
from Tucson to find. It's certainly my most time consuming hide to date.
On the other end of the spectrum, I have one that is only about 10 minutes
from a good road and another that's right off a freeway exit (you'll probably
recognize which one that is).

Jim.
