Maybe we're a quality state not a quantity state

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).
