It's miserably hot, too hot for geocaching.  So I thought I'd share another one of my watch list caches from another state. I think you might find it amusing. Plus anything with water and greenery I find appealing now, especially since my plants are all yellow and dying.
 
I've been recording the new caches that are being posted, and it seems that new urban caches in the Phoenix area (where it is very hot) are appearing almost every day.  However, there are few new caches appearing in the Flagstaff area, where the weather is a lot cooler.  For example, this search shows only 63 caches within 25 miles of Flagstaff (compared to more than 400 for some Phoenix-area zip codes) and no new caches posted within the last 10 days.
 
I would like to see more geocaches in the cooler elevations of Arizona, rather than just in the Phoenix area.  How can we promote a greater and more equitable geographic distribution of caches throughout Arizona?  I like caches close to home, but I also would like to see a greater variety and distribution of caches throughout the entire state, not just close to the big metropolitan area.
 
On my next trip to the Flagstaff area, I intend to bring a new cache container with me and I will put a new cache somewhere in the high, cool pine country of northern Arizona.
