[Az-Geocaching] Caution Tucson, border cachers

[Brian Casteel]

You take me too seriously sometimes.  I was being completely facetious in 
that regard.  I just thought it was funny when you pointed out the fact that 
they 'tried' to torch a flag, only to end up stomping on it instead.  I have 
my ideas on how to reinforce the border and eliminate the crossings in AZ, 
and it would only involve a few hundred troops, some wood and a few other 
things that go boom.  :)
