[Az-Geocaching] Back Country Waypoints

[Virgil Silhanek]

Ok, I sent a request to the publisher to publish the file for download.

The files they have for download from their site are for the "Trails"
series of books for Utah and Colorado.  There currently are no Trails"
books for Arizona.  I just thought I'd add that since the published
waypoints are not from the larger "Backcountry" volumes of Utah,
Colorado, and Arizona.

I also don't like that they have provided the files for download with
the Maptech Terrain Navigator.  I don't have that program and am unable
to use the file.  I was hoping the waypoints could be provided in
EasyGPS format which can be downloaded free and works with multiple GPS
units.
