Re: [Az-Geocaching] scorpions

One of the 'glowing' highlights of the Halloween Radioactive event was all
the scorpions we found under blacklight along the perimeter of the park
itself. In probably a 30' area, I think we spotted >6 of them roaming
around, and made enough ruckus that they found elsewhere to hide so the kids
attending weren't threatened (as much).
