[Az-Geocaching] Another cache bites the dust

[Jim Scotti]

Unfortunately, I suppose one mans litter is another mans treasure.  I wonder 
if there's any official reference in the A.R.S. codes that might apply fairly 
literally to a geocache or related item.  I wonder if the sticker that is 
being used is an official sticker or one that was made up by whoever is 
placing them.  In my opinion, the sticker is far uglier than the "litter" it 
was replacing.  It is being made to be seen while the geocache is usually 
hidden or camoflagued and generally not easily seen by the untrained eye.....
