If
memory serves me correctly, Sparky's Stash was a small paint can that was
stashed in a bush along the southside of a building on the ASU campus. This
building that is located just north across a small street from Gammage
Auditorium. I remember going back twice to find it, and getting totally lucky.
It was hidden behind a very small palm plant. You had to climb up into the
planter area (a feat better advised at night), and when you found it you
needed to call upon your prying skills, because the can was nearly
rusted shut.

Isn't that the one on the side of A
Mountain? I looked for that sucker for over an hour at 11PM or so and
ended up above it 2 or 3 times second-guessing myself. But once you get
close to the cache itself, it kind of finds you.

The one that pops into my mind is the Aqua Fria cache. My
first try was by four wheel drive from the north. At the time, the
lake water was up so high that there was no way to get a land vehicle
anywhere near the cache. My second try was from the south by hiking
in on wild burro trails. Got to within 1.25 miles of it and came to
a small version of the Grand Canyon. By that time I had less than
half my water supply left and had to turn back. I actually did run
out of drinking water, but had a fresh gallon in the truck when I got back
to it. In the mean time, the clue I wanted from that cache to solve
the Chain Cache, had been changed to a more accessible cache. I
still haven't gone back to get the Aqua Fria cache, but would like to when
it is accessible by Jeep.

The listserv has been amazingly quiet
lately. Here's a question I'll toss out in an effort to stimulate some
conversation.
If you've been caching for awhile there is
probably at least one cache you tried to find several times without
success. You REALLY wanted it but it eluded you. Others have
found it. It now may be archived and you'll have to live with your
failure forever. One that comes to mind for me is Ya Skala.
What is yours?
Any takers?
