If memory serves me correctly, Sparky's Stash was a small paint can that was
stashed in a bush along the southside of a building on the ASU campus. This
building that is located just north across a small street from Gammage
Auditorium. I remember going back twice to find it, and getting totally
lucky. It was hidden behind a very small palm plant. You had to climb up
into the planter area (a feat better advised at night), and when you found
it you needed to call upon your prying skills, because the can was nearly
rusted shut.

Isn't that the one on the side of A Mountain? I looked for that sucker for
over an hour at 11PM or so and ended up above it 2 or 3 times
second-guessing myself. But once you get close to the cache itself, it kind
of finds you.

The one that pops into my mind is the Aqua Fria cache. My first try was
by four wheel drive from the north. At the time, the lake water was up so
high that there was no way to get a land vehicle anywhere near the cache.
My second try was from the south by hiking in on wild burro trails. Got to
within 1.25 miles of it and came to a small version of the Grand Canyon. By
that time I had less than half my water supply left and had to turn back. I
actually did run out of drinking water, but had a fresh gallon in the truck
when I got back to it. In the mean time, the clue I wanted from that cache
to solve the Chain Cache, had been changed to a more accessible cache. I
still haven't gone back to get the Aqua Fria cache, but would like to when
it is accessible by Jeep.

The listserv has been amazingly quiet lately. Here's a question I'll
toss out in an effort to stimulate some conversation.
If you've been caching for awhile there is probably at least one cache
you tried to find several times without success. You REALLY wanted it but
it eluded you. Others have found it. It now may be archived and you'll have
to live with your failure forever. One that comes to mind for me is Ya
Skala. What is yours?
Any takers?
