Re: [Az-Geocaching] "Obsessed geocacher found stuck in mud, …

I agree with the number of caches... I've done a lot of reading on
geocaching and it seems like every newspaper article (archive) I find lists
the number of AZ caches as double what the previous article said... the
articles are typically only 3-5 months apart... It amazed me the first time
we searched for a cache on the website and found there were a half dozen
within a 2-3 mile radius of our office... there was one even in our parking
lot (now there's two as we've recently placed our own... Scott happened to
be the first find on ours).
