I got this email recently from the ARS racing series. They are having some
kind of a geocaching event at Squaw Peak Mountain Park area. It says there
will be 25 pre hidden caches. I wonder if these are already existing caches
or if they are placing some just for the event? Anyways, this is all I know
below. Read on if interested. I might consider giving it a try if they are
utilizing existing caches, since there are alot of new ones in that area I
havent found yet.

Subject : Upcoming Adventure Racing & GeoCaching events near Phoenix.
Just a few more days to register for the Full Moon Over Phoenix nighttime
Adventure Race this Saturday, April 23rd. This will be a new challenge to
see how well you can navigate at night. This race will include kayaking,
mountain biking, & trekking. The start will be located at SB Cove on
Bartlett Lake. We hope to see you Saturday.
Also, if youve ever considered GeoCaching, weve got a fun GeoCaching
competition coming up in Dreamy Draw Park near Piestewa Peak on Saturday May
7th. Youll use your GPS unit to help you find 25 pre-hidden Caches
throughout the area in 3 hours.
Look for a Beginners Adventure Racing series this summer at Saguaro Lake.
Each race will be between 10-20K long and include 2 disciplines: kayak/bike,
bike/trek, trek/tube. Their will also be mystery events for you to pass
through. The map reading will be relatively simple with no compass
necessary.
