[Az-Geocaching] Light rail rules and geocaching?

[LaMont Bankson]

With 150' rule regarding railroad tracks that takes care of caches at
stops.  Something I picked up on a trip to San Diego this summer was a
caching trail/numbers run near the stops.  All of the caches were
within .25 miles and you could ride the San Diego Trolley lines to
grab them by getting off at each stop.  Not sure how the metro works
here as to price and on/offs but might be something to think about.

My 2 cents anyway.  Would love to hear/read other ideas.
