[Az-Geocaching] Power Trail not approved!

[Guy Aldrich]

They both Artemis and Coadmin suggested doing a multicache!But then
you have to ask why?The only thing a multicache does is conceal the
amount of caches that are actually in an area since each point is not
shown on a map! A few of you stated you would rather do a
multicache,could you please explain why?From what I have seen
multicaches don't get nearly the amount of hits that traditional
caches do which tells me there is not as much interst in them!If you
were finding a cache every 1/4 mile along a trail would you be more
inclined to hike the whole trail?
