Re: [Az-Geocaching] Another cache bites the dust

I wonder is there is a contact on the sticker as to whom made it (print shop) I don't think this was done by a official agency but someone who is against Geocaching. I agree that the cache is usually hidden so someone must have the coordinates in order to find it, don't think any agency would go to that trouble just to remove a cache that is out of sight.

Unfortunately, I suppose one mans litter is another mans treasure. I wonder
if there's any official reference in the A.R.S. codes that might apply fairly
literally to a geocache or related item. I wonder if the sticker that is
being used is an official sticker or one that was made up by whoever is
placing them. In my opinion, the sticker is far uglier than the "litter" it
was replacing. It is being made to be seen while the geocache is usually
hidden or camoflagued and generally not easily seen by the untrained eye.....
