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.

Cache Regrets
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?
