[Az-Geocaching] Advice needed on Virtual (Locationless) Cache...

[Brian Cluff]

I have to admit, when all had been said on the cache, I did find myself
wondering what evactly you were looking for.  It seemed a little general.
You might want to ask for something specific like pictures of street signs
that are also streets in LA.. or building...  etc etc.
Maybe boncus points for getting whatever your requiring with a yellow jeep
in it at the same time :)
