Of course you'd chime in, Dan. But judging by your own e-mail, I'd have thought you to be too 'Lazy' for it. :)

&gt;Does anyone have the GC# of
it?
&nbsp;
&gt;Brian&gt;Team A.I.
&nbsp;
You know, Brian, there's
this great resource out there called azgeocaching.com... ;)&nbsp; heh heh heh
:)
&nbsp;
As for
cache regrets, I'd say it's 'Kippers in the Desert'.&nbsp; While it's not one
that I couldn't find, it is one that I regretfully never made the attempt to
find.&nbsp; I was at a friends place right down the road from it, had my GPS in
hand, but never made it out there.&nbsp; I had watched that cache for months
(back then there were so few caches around!) and really wanted to find it since
I was so close.&nbsp; Alas, that was not to be and I have nothing to blame but
my own laziness.&nbsp; But then again, I'm not called 'LazyK' for
nothing...
&nbsp;
As for
cache embarrasments (not a regret yet because it's still active), that's
definately 'Desert Half Pipe'.&nbsp; a 1/1 cache stumped us for the better part
of an hour.&nbsp; We took our lumps and posted a 'Not Found'.&nbsp; Hopefully,
though, we'll get back out there and find that sucker before it really does go
missing.&nbsp; But then again...refer to the last sentence of the previous
paragraph...

If 
    memory serves me correctly, Sparky's Stash was&nbsp;a small paint can that 
    was stashed in a bush along the southside of a building on the ASU campus. 
    This building that is located just north across a small street from Gammage 
    Auditorium. I remember going back twice to find it, and getting totally 
    lucky. It was hidden behind a very small palm plant. You had to climb up 
    into the planter area (a feat better advised at night), and when you found 
    it you needed to call upon your&nbsp;prying skills, because&nbsp;the can was 
    nearly rusted shut.

Isn't that the one on the side of A 
    Mountain?&nbsp; I looked for that sucker for over an hour at 11PM or so and 
    ended up above it 2 or 3 times second-guessing myself.&nbsp; But once you 
    get close to the cache itself, it kind of finds you.

The one that pops into my mind is the Aqua Fria cache.&nbsp; My 
        first try was by four wheel drive from the north.&nbsp; At the time, the 
        lake water was up so high that there was no way to get a land vehicle 
        anywhere near the cache.&nbsp; My second try was from the south by 
        hiking in on wild burro trails.&nbsp; Got to within 1.25 miles of it and 
        came to a small version of the Grand Canyon.&nbsp; By that time I had 
        less than half my water supply left and had to turn back.&nbsp; I 
        actually did run out of drinking water, but had a fresh gallon in the 
        truck when I got back to it.&nbsp; In the mean time, the clue I wanted 
        from that cache to solve the Chain Cache, had been changed to a more 
        accessible cache.&nbsp; I still haven't gone back to get the Aqua Fria 
        cache, but would like to when it is accessible by 
        Jeep.

The listserv has been amazingly quiet 
          lately. Here's a question I'll toss out in an effort to stimulate some 
          conversation.

&nbsp;
If you've been caching for awhile there 
          is probably at least one cache you tried to find several times without 
          success.&nbsp; You REALLY wanted it but it eluded you.&nbsp;Others 
          have found it. &nbsp;It now may be archived and you'll have to live 
          with your failure forever.&nbsp; One that comes to mind for me is Ya 
          Skala.&nbsp; What is yours?

&nbsp;
Any takers?
&nbsp;
Jerry
