[Az-Geocaching] Mo' bettah caches!

[Artemis Approver]

Gladdly, as it was explained to graldrich in email from myself,
co_admin and other reviewers. As it was explained in the forum he
started and as others have said.

The guidelines changed because many land managers were getting
pressure and they put the brakes on cache saturation. Since this is an
arbitrary issue, we use a reviewers group to make decisions. Since it
was thrown to the reviewers group and over 80% said it was a
saturation issue, we explained very well to gradlrich why you cannot
compare caches that were listed two years ago to caches of today.

Just as anyone who has been around can tell you that in '02 and '03
you could waypoint a man hole cover in the street and make it a
virtual, this cannot be done today. I explained in many long emails
about how many states have started requiring a permit for every cache
hidden on state property. This was not the case two years ago.

I explained how many land managers look at the cache maps and say
enough is enough and ban geocaching.

Very little of this has actually made it to everyone, but in a nut
shell, why can California have it and not Arizona? Because it was
listed before the guidelines changed.
