What? What need is there for more caches of any kind, in any location? Yeah, you're right: I can't see any from my office window... The notion that places NEED geocaches is absurd. (This sort of mentality is what was behind the Crusades; we all know how popular they turned out to be...) Tonto National Forest, e.g., no more needs a geocache than it "needs" a farking WalMart.

If the cache is a good quality cache, in a durable, airtight container like an ammo can, and located in a remote area, then it will likely not need to be "maintained." There is a definite need for more geocaches in places farther away from cities.
Without geocachers placing some "vacation" caches, then some parts of the USA and other parts of the world will have few or no caches.
