[Az-Geocaching] Prescott Caches

Wed, 3 Apr 2002 16:56:00 -0700

Team Coyote1022 will be spending 6 weeks in the Prescott area this summer,
so we hope there is enough caches to keep us going for that time!  If not,
we will be buying more ammo cans so that we can place caches in the area.
If they're aren't any to find, then our mission will be to create some.
Please Lincoln, keep all your caches in place!  Six weeks is a long time to
go without a fix for our addiction!!!

Gordon & Darlene
Team Coyote1022

I hadn't found the last few of Lincoln's new caches. These are the ones he
just archived. However, I agree with Trisha. There were/are not that many
caches in the Prescott area. The ones that are (were) there are different.
It's much harder to find 5+ caches in the mountains in one day, than it is
to find 10+ caches in an urban area. All of the Prescott area caches are
high quality, including fantastic locations.

I appreciate the web site services that Jeremy provides. I became a "charter
member". However, I also think Jeremy was wrong, and he shouldn't be the
"cache police" to advise on this when he hasn't physically been there. I
know he's found a few caches in the area, but only the "easy" ones (like the
cache that was 2' off the main hwy near Jerome).

In comparison, the Phoenix ASU/Paqago park area is MUCH more crowded with
caches than the entire Prescott National Forest. I think Lincoln should
re-hide his new caches if he wants. He could also advise Jeremy that this
area IS NOT saturated with caches, considering the terrain and remote
locations of many of them.

We almost came up to Prescott again this weekend, but plans changed (even
before these caches were archived).

I just met 'Lincoln' at the 2 of seven cache I did
today...he happened to be taking a hike to check on it.
(I am really glad he showed up, there was a MUCH esaier
way down then all the bushwacking). Anyway, he said
that Jeremy made a comment to him after approving a new
cache the "you have too many caches hidden and they are
too close together...you need to remove some." So it is
NOT Lincoln's idea, and my impression from his comments
was that he was going and physically removing them. He
was also quite upset. OK, how many is "too many"? and
anybody who has done any of his caches knows that for
the most part they are well-placed, quality caches that
usually require a nice drive and hike to get to. (Not
like some easy thing stuck in a park). He put ALOT of
time and money into the "seven" series and his other
caches so that WE can enjoy them. I wonder if Jeremy
even has a clue that even tho' it may appear that two
caches are close together (for example, my "Unity"
cache and Lincoln's "Six of Seven") that in reality,
they are quite different in approach and terrain.

LARRY...."Wyle E"....what do you think? You have done a
bunch of Lincoln's caches. And have depended on people
placing caches so you (and others) could get your high
stats. How many is too many? especially when they are
quality caches?

Anybody else who has cached in the Prescott area have
an opinion, and does anybody think we should
ask/explain to Jeremy about the area and the caches
here?

I know that I really appreciate Lincoln's efforts.
