Yea, I have noticed the same thing. This is kinda wierd actually. There are 
many caches that are 'there', but dont show up on the Azgeocaching.com data 
files (team spec files). For instance, a few of AZCachemeister's dont show 
up. Also, a cache called Top of the Rocks, by Team 360, which is on top of 
South Mountain. That cache has been there for probably 4-6 months and I 
never knew it was up there! (even though I have made a couple of trips up 
there for other caches during that time!) If I go into my 'closest to home' 
on geocaching.com, it shows up. But, I tend to only use the team spec files 
from azg.com and it has never showed up on my mapsource file or easygps 
files. However, when you claim a find on one of these 'ghostly' caches, it 
shows up as a find in your total finds column. Interesting!
