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.

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.
