Re: [Az-Geocaching] Wyle B Operative

I feared this debate would come up eventually. I thought long and hard about the phrase "Central Arizona". I wanted to leave some room for flexibility. I personally don't mind if a given operative 'strays' south or any other direction for a little while. I feel that they will eventually end up back in the Phoenix area before long, if for no other reason that target cache is in the Phoenix area. I suppose if someone in the Phoenix area really wants the operative, they could go on a "rescue mission".

At this point, I personally would prefer not to have multiple sets of the travelers. I don't say this to try to exclude Tucson cachers or any other cachers. The variability of one set of travelers, adds to the elusive nature of the cache. This isn't a cache that is likely to be done in a day, week or even a month. That is part of the fun.

I would encourage cachers from anywhere in the state to go for this cache. I'm impressed that Tucson cachers are willing to participate. I'm less concerned about the operatives spending time in Tucson as long as they are moving. As long as the operatives are moving on a regular basis, people have opportunity to find them.

Happy Hunting,
Jerry (Cache-Quest)

I know there are a lot of cachers who live in Tucson who want to go after the Wyle Operatives for the Catch That Coyote cache (GC3807). Because of the distance it makes it tough for those who live in Tucson to play the game if the Operatives stay in Central Arizona. It would be nice if there were two sets of operatives; one for the Tucson area and the other for Central Arizona! [:)] I know that the original cards with the coyote figure are no longer available . . . but a seperate design (with the same secret numbers) could be incorporated into the game for Tucson.

Jerry (Team Cache-Quest), what do you think? What does everyone else think?

I had a great time running all over the valley chasing those wily coyotes down and finding the hideaway. Even though the game's over for me, I still like to keep up with those who are out looking.

    RandMan,

    Simply an observation.

      Gregg,

      What's your point?  Are you saying it's okay to break the rules of the game?  Or are you just making an observation?

      I know that you didn't take the Wyle B operative to Tucson, but the point I was making with my comment was to draw attention that Wyle B wasn't supposed to leave the central Arizona area.

      If someone thinks it's okay to take the Wyle's to Tucson, then will it be okay for someone else to take the Wyle's to New Mexico or to Texas or someplace else?
