Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Why very few new caches lately in Arizona?
I've been looking at the list of new caches, and it appears that there =
is very little new cache activity in Arizona during the past week. =
There have been only two new caches approved in Arizona since Sept. 2, =
while in Utah there have been 19 new caches approved in the past seven =
days.
There are many great places to put caches in the high elevations of =
Arizona. There are still many regions of the state of Arizona that =
don't have many caches. I may make one or two new caches and hide them =
this weekend, potentially near the Mogollon Rim. Don't complain about =
the heat in the Phoenix area - the high elevations are less than two =
hours away and the gasoline is less expensive in towns like Payson and =
Prescott than it is in Phoenix.
Why does Utah continue to outpace Arizona in cache activity? Utah has =
less than half the population of Arizona, yet Utah has 1,893 caches as =
of today, while Arizona has 1,733 caches. We really should have more =
caches than our neighboring state to the north. (This has always =
irritated me that Utah has more caches than Arizona. Why should Utah be =
a better geocaching state than Arizona? I would like to challenge =
Arizona to become the best geocaching state in the USA).
