I sure appreciate ALL the comments that y'all have made thus far about the "Prescott cache problem" :-) I wonder....if everyone who has already expressed their opinion/concern here, and those who haven't, POLITELY emailed Jeremy thru the geocaching website and explained the situation and expressed their opinions as we have done here on the list-serve, maybe it will make a difference?
