Maybe we should all just move to Utah.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Why very few new caches lately in Arizona?
I've been looking at the list of new caches, and it appears that there is
very little new cache activity in Arizona during the past week. There have
been only two new caches approved in Arizona since Sept. 2, while in Utah
there have been 19 new caches approved in the past seven days.
There are many great places to put caches in the high elevations of Arizona.
There are still many regions of the state of Arizona that don't have many
caches. I may make one or two new caches and hide them this weekend,
potentially near the Mogollon Rim. Don't complain about the heat in the
Phoenix area - the high elevations are less than two hours away and the
gasoline is less expensive in towns like Payson and Prescott than it is in
Phoenix.
Why does Utah continue to outpace Arizona in cache activity? Utah has less
than half the population of Arizona, yet Utah has 1,893 caches as of today,
while Arizona has 1,733 caches. We really should have more caches than our
neighboring state to the north. (This has always irritated me that Utah has
more caches than Arizona. Why should Utah be a better geocaching state than
Arizona? I would like to challenge Arizona to become the best geocaching
state in the USA).
