[Az-Geocaching] finding geocaches that neither of two (or more) teams have found

[AZcachemeister]

I just realized that there IS a way to do this, but it involves sharing information derived from Pocket Queries, which is expressly forbidden by the TOS.

 We certainly don't want to go there, now do we?

Yeah, we do both those.  Usually I'm last to find, which is great
entertainment for the others.

But it would be nice to be able to plan a target-rich environment for the
group.  I know some of you have to go to new area codes to find a new GC, so
you have no sympathy.

The refinds can be entertaining too, especially when containers are
switched, or "drift" to a new location, or the weather / plants / time of
day/night have changed, creating entirely new challenges.
