[Az-Geocaching] Travel route suggestions

[ShadowAce]

The only problem I10 is creating for thoe of us who live here is the fact
you cannot get on or off I-10 for a 5 mile or so stretch. It has not slowed
us down any of the times we have driven north and we normally get on I-10
from the south side of Tucson.
