[Az-Geocaching] Geoberry!

[Gale]

That cache was mine, and part of the trouble was that I couldnt change the coordinates on the page. That made it harder for people to want to find it. (Pocket queries only had the old coordinates.) In this cache for tc.com, Im proposing that the cache will stay there until it is found. At the end of that day or weekend, I will disable it and move it to a new area, then re-enable it. The cache would not be something people would go to only to discover it was moved. The cache would only be moved by the cache owner, and only with prior notice on the cache page.

It appears that it sat missing for six months then got archived. I
hope your cache on TC.com has better survival. I would have loved to
get the moving one up there, but it was not maintained and was always
missing.

Then again, that might be a reason I am not thrilled about the idea of
a moving cache if I drive 200 miles round trip to find out it was
moved that morning.

The one up in Phoenix was named Where's Waldo's Heart.

Owner even wrote "Since there has been such a time lag between the
last finder of this cache and the person who couldnt find it, it is
apparent that this cache is not as popular as some of our other
caches. With that in mind, it is time for this one to be archived."

"Something hidden.  Go and find it. Go and look behind the Ranges --
  "Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go!"
