I have a ways to go before I've bagged all the 
higher elevation caches, in particular, the White Mountain caches. On 
a recent trip to Reservation Lake, I was impressed with the relatively 
high number of caches in the area. Most of which looked like they
required 
at least a small approach. We only had time for two caches, this last
trip, 
next time I would like to plan a caching only trip. If you haven't 
been to the White Mountain lately, now is a great time to head up in
that area, 
there is lots of water and it is very green and cool. BTW, I did take
up a 
new cache container and I did stash it. It is ripe and ready for a
first 
finder.

I wish there were more caches popping up in 
the Tucson area. Though, there are a few teams in Tucson regularly 
generating quality caches, still it is no were close to the rate in
the Phoenix 
area.

  Subject: [Az-Geocaching] How to get more 
  geocaches in other parts of Arizona, like Flagstaff?
  
  
  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.
