If memory serves, "members only" caches are considered "out of state"
by the azgeocaching site and I know there are a few of those down in
Tucson. As far as the discrepancy between you and The Webbman, it
looks like that is actually due to the timing of your log entries.
Were you perhaps entering them very late on Friday night and got into
the cutoff time when the azgeocaching data pull run started? If that
is the case, your numbers should square up to each other after
tonight's run.

BTW, congrats to both of you on your 2 marathon runs in the last
couple of weeks. I understand from talking to The Webbman at the
breakfast event that you are using some cool tech to optimize your
routes between caches.
