CROWN KING - A 35-year-old Phoenix man was found dead after his car
plunged over a 500-foot cliff near the tiny community of Crown King.
The Yavapai County sheriff's office called in a DPS helicopter to help
in the recovering of the body of Clinton Keeler on Saturday.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Geocaching accident
We had a trip planned to Crown King this weekend with 4 other =
families. Decided to hit one or two caches on the way up and stopped off =
to do the "B.B." cache. On the way back from a small easy hike from the =
cache site one of our group slipped on some pea gravel on a shallow 3 =
foot incline. She fell to the ground and dislocated her ankle and broke =
it in two places. The group we were with consisted of 1 certified EMT =
and one former EMT and two police officers. We were able provide the =
emergency services ourselves and get her to the hospital within an hour. =
Two hours of surgery and lots of bolts later the ankle was put back =
together. She is expected to be in the hospital for another day and off =
work for 4-6 weeks.
I'm posting this as a friendly reminder to be careful when out doing =
the remote caches sites. Always let someone know where you are going, =
bring a cell phone, and BE PREPARED for the unexpected. This was not a =
difficult cache and was truly an accident. The remote location of this =
cache could have made it much worse if it was a solo cache hunter.
