[Az-Geocaching] Arizona Geocachers' Shame

[Loran Wilcox]

There is no shame in an outsider getting the most finds for a month in AZ.
Look at it as a complement to the area.
If I where there now, I would have 117 new cache to find within 25 miles of
where I lived. For someone that hasn't been there before they would have 275
to choose from.  It is easy to see how someone can run up big numbers in a
hurry.

But I must congratulate Team Sprocket for finding 162 after having already
200 finds. This feat is quite a bit harder.  I know it gets much harder to
find available caches close by after awhile and you must travel further,
hike longer, and climb more peaks just to satisfy the caching urge.
