[Az-Geocaching] State Trust Land in Maricopa County

[Brian Cluff]

A previous post mentioned that they were closing the areas down due to dust
complaints.
My wife used to work in the Dust complain department of the state.  Basicly
what it mostly amounts to is that people move out here to the DESERT from
other wetter states and then start complaining about the amount of dust in
the air.  They actually complain about dust storms coming from the middle of
the desert where nobody is at to possibly cause them.

My other favorite complaint that my wife say a lot of was people moving onto
horse propertys with an unpaved road and then complaining that the ranch
that has been there for 50+ years is causeing too much dust for them, or
people just trying to get to their house on the dirt road is causeing too
much dust for them and they are having problems breathing.
I wish the above people just go back to where they came from and stop
bitching about something that can't be helped.
