I'm one of the guilty ones. I have hidden just under 1% of those I've
found. However, nowhere that I've seen am I required to hide a cache in
order to find them. Four out of five of my hides are quality hides-- not
'stop and drop' like so many others. The fifth one, until it was
stolen, was a unique hide and difficult to find so, it was a quality
hide too, in it's own way. I will hide more but I would rather see
people hide fewer caches than to see them hide more than they can
reasonably maintain. Remember, that is a responsibilty the hider needs
to assume. Not just to flood an area with caches that he/she cannot
possibly maintain (until somebody complains that it is missing.) As for
not enough caches in Arizona, I think that is poppycock! I'll make this
promise to anyone who is reading this. The day that someone (anyone)
logs all of the caches in Arizona, I will go out that week and hide 20
new caches! Anybody up for that challenge?
