cashmashine Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi, I'm a NY cacher heading to Phoenix/Scottsdale in a few days. What are some interesting caches on a nice trail near Scottsdale? I will probably only have about half a day to cache and will have non-cacher friends with me, so I'm sure they'll be more interested in a nice view. I'm hoping that after they see what geocaching is about, they will get hooked. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

Park at or near these coords: N 33° 34.306 W 112° 00.252 Then do these 7 caches in succesion and they will take you inside the Phoenix Mountains. The 6th of 7 will take you high up on the peak of a mountain so it will give you great views of the valley. GCN7NQ GCHPJT GC10RJ1 GCHQWT GCHEC9 GC14BP8 GC14WFF Quote Link to comment

+Lieyna Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hello everyone. I am a Nub to geocaching in Arizona. I live in Tucson. I was wondering if there was anyone who might be able to give me some pointers. I think I have all the basics, such as a Garmin 76 and a new PDA, but could use some help with how to go about finding caches. Hope to see you around. Quote Link to comment
southpawaz Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi Lieyna, For some reason, unlike those in some other areas, not many people in AZ seem to read this forum. You might try signing on to the listserv at azgeocaching.com (scroll back in this thread for some details) and then posting a note on it. Events are also a good way to meet cachers but I don't see any on the horizon right now down in Tucson. Keep your eyes out for one on the Newest in Arizona link on your main page. Whatever you do, it's a great time to get out there in the desert and find some caches, with all the rain we've it looks to be an outstanding wildflower season! Quote Link to comment
+belair56 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'll be heading out to Arizona for some caching (I'm from NYS) I'll be near Bisby and then Tombstone, any easy close caches in those areas? Quote Link to comment

Its actually Bisbee And there are many in Tucson, and Benson. I have not looked at what is in Bisbee or Tombstone, but I am sure there are some. Quote Link to comment

I was wondering if there was anyone who might be able to give me some pointers. I think I have all the basics, such as a Garmin 76 and a new PDA, but could use some help with how to go about finding caches. Hope to see you around. There's a couple of Flash Mob events coming up. One on pi day. (3/14@1:59) And one may 8th. (I think) Can watch for CITO events too. As for how to find caches.. it's really quite easy. You get the information. And you go to the location.. and you poke around until you find it, or you feel like pounding your head in to the nearest saguaro in frustration. Start off with low difficulty (any terrain level you like, as long as you can handle it), regular or small caches are the best bets, because sometime micros are a bitch. Quote Link to comment
southpawaz Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 AZ Cachers, I was out caching near the Salt River in the Tonto National Forest and saw my first rattlesnake of the season today. Just a heads up, it's about that time of year. Quote Link to comment

+Jhendu Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) I guess its just a matter of time until I start seeing them while out in Tucson. Speaking of wildlife though, I'm in Florida right now and while out on a caching while biking run I saw a garter snake, a wild turkey, a deer and a tortoise. Couple that with the Bald eagle while grabbing a cache the other day and this trip has been a great one for caching! Edited March 30, 2008 by Jhendu Quote Link to comment

And, for a heads-up: I will try to leave Psycho Urban Cache refrigerator magnets as swag items in at least a few of my finds; I will make a note in my online log finds when I do so.

And, for a heads-up: I will try to leave Psycho Urban Cache refrigerator magnets as swag items in at least a few of my finds; I will make a note in my online log finds when I do so. Just a quick update... I left imprinted Psycho Urban Cache refrigerator magnets in two AZ caches along the Tempe/Scottsdale border yesterday. I left three of the magnets under a rock near Bighorn Rock cache (GCZQPM), and I left four of the magnets in the Papago Trails 2 cache (GC10253) cache container. I have set aside very little time for geocaching during my field trip to this area, but if I find any more local caches here in the PHX area or the Tucson area during my travels, I will be sure to try to leave a few more of the PUC magnets! And, a thank you to the locals who wrote to me to tell me about the local events being held this weekend! Quote Link to comment
