[Az-Geocaching] Assault on Bronco Butte Geocache

[Bob Renner]

Jason,

>From what I could see on the TOPO! maps, we could
start
out at what's shown as a picnic area along Fish Creek
below the long hill and north of the main road.  I
plotted a route with TOPO! and I can send it to you
when I get home this evening.  Like I said, it's a
long
and rugged route and won't be a walk in the park.

After I did the TV interview, I emailed the reporter
and thanked him and also hinted that if they wanted to
do a follow-up that a helicopter trip to this cache
would be a good story.  They never responded.

Bob
