[Az-Geocaching] No gas to geocache!

[Trisha]

I remember that episode when it originally aired and I believe I did a
quick mental check that, yes, the coords were in the right area.
(I would hope the military advisors on a show like that wouldn't make
such an obvious mistake!)

Just about an hour ago the episode of Jag was on 
where Harm goes down in bad weather.  They rambled off lat/long but
before 
I could get back into the living room, I missed too much of it.  Was
going 
to look it up and see if the coords actually fell within the area they
stated 
the aircraft went down in.  Hrmph.

  I needed gas so last night at 11 pm, I waited half an hour in line
and 
  paid $1.99 per gallon. Everyone was well behaved. I don't know what
it is like 
  today, but yesterday afternoon only 1 in 12 gas stations in my area
had gas. 
  Last night only 1 in 10 had gas.
  The news showed one independent on the west side charging $4.97 per 
  gallon before he closed down due to personal safety concerns.
(Sheesh, you 
  think?)
   
  We have an unofficial contest between Mike and I to see who can find
the 
  geocache or the coordinates in tv or films that we watch. Virtual 
  geocaching seems to be all we can do for now (and not because of
gas). Looking 
  forward to the event cache this weekend. I'll have 3 TBs with 
  me.Jim Scotti <jscotti@pirlserver.lpl.Arizona.EDU>

  Well, while our gas prices down here in Tucson are not approaching
$4 
  agallon like I saw on the news last night about Phoenix, they are 
  runningclose to $1.70, up from close to $1.50 before the gas
pipeline 
  break.  Mostof that jump happened within about 2 or 3 days just 
  after the pipeline breakstory broke - coincidence?  The shortage 
  may be having a small affect here inTucson since apparently, our gas 
  terminals are being saturated by tankersfrom the Phoenix area - 
  tankers distributing gas locally are competing withthose
transporting 
  it up to Phoenix and so there is some difficulty meetingthe 
  demand.  I have not seen any stations that did not have gas, 
  however.I also heard a guest on one of the morning radio shows 
  while driving in towork talking about the Phoenix situation.  
  Supposedly, 70% of the gasdelivered in Phoenix comes from
California, and 
  the remainder comes throughTucson via the pipeline, presumably.  
  So, that leads to the question of whythere appears to be such a 
  shortage - there should be at least 70% of thesupply intact with 
  considerable of the remaining 30% being supplied viatanker instead
of 
  pipeline from Tucson.  Something smells fishy aroundhere....  
  I've heard stories on this listserve about passing 4 or 5 
  closedstations before finding one with a long line - are you having 
  the sametrouble adding this equation up as I am?And the required 
  geocaching part of this otherwise off-topic post: It's notthe gas 
  situation that has kept me from going geocaching, just too many 
  otherthings going on around here!  Did anyone see the repeat of 
  Enterprise lastweek?  Some of the crew were descending into a 
  cave on an alien planetchasing some alien scientists that needed to
be 
  found and removed from theplanet before the bad guys ! of the week 
  closed the planet to them and duringthe descent, one of the crew
finds 
  a little tupperware-like container withsome rock samples in it.  
  My son thought I was nuts (as usual) as I exclaimed"Hey, a 
  geocache!"
