[Az-Geocaching] Caching Group

[Brian Casteel]

I would appreciate it if you would provide a list of at least some of the
GCs for the caches you find questionable in terms of their location.  You
can e-mail me privately as well if you prefer.

I did some reading online.  I need to check this out when i get home because
it seems that, legally speaking, geocaching is quite limited.  So far it
seems that several the caches that I had in mind to visit may have been
inappropriately placed...

Anyway, thanks for this tip.

Wilderness areas are marked on Topo maps, so you can clearly see the
