Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Re: Without "vacation" geocaches, some areas may
never see a cache
It's funny you say that.
While I was on vacation in Montana, I placed a total of 4 caches (one
archived because admin thought a REAL cache should go there), with 2 being
traditional caches (ammo cans) and the other a virtual.
My father-in-law said he would maintain them for me, and even picked out the
areas (he's hooked). Billings, MT only had 5 caches prior to my arrival,
which is a shame considering the many great cache areas around town, each
with their own unique challenge. If I had more time/money to plan, I'd have
dropped a dozen caches in town, and nown of them would have been altoids
tins under lightpoles, because there were so many locations to choose from.
I must say, the number of trees and the design of the neighborhoods was
unbelievable. Even though most of the trip was nearly as warm as Phoenix,
it was a great vacation. Beartooth Highway is a MUST-DRIVE for anyone in
the area. Just make sure that the wildfires aren't pushing smoke into the
Shoshone National Forest area(s), because it really hid the beauty of the
mountains. Fortunately, we made it through and stopped at all the various
scenic spots before the winds shifted.
The very first cache I visited, Black Otter Trail, had a TB inside that had
a goal to get to a cache within 20 miles of Tucson. How ironic. :) It's
now 865 miles closer to that goal. Hey Scott (MBH)...you planning a trip to
Phoenix anytime soon?
