[Az-Geocaching] Increase your find count

[Brian Cluff]

Obviously you can't always use the directions, and sometimes it's not
there anymore because someone put a mall on it or in the case on the one
that is about 150 feet from the front door of my work, the widened the
freeway and bulldozed it away.  Another one that we found that is down
the steet from the missing one we had to account for the passage of
time.  it said it was about 2 feet off the road on the east side.  When
we actually found it it was about 6 feet in the middle of the road and
had been paved over leaving just a small brassy spot where the asphault
had been worn away.
