[Az-Geocaching] GC57 - documentation question

[Steven Stringham]

The history is what I am aiming for. I really enjoyed reading the logs. 
I think it is great that the original log book is still there. There are 
logs from people from all over the world in there (though I concentrated 
on photos AZ cachers).

I sent a couple of pages to Brian Casteel. (his, the first log, and one 
other). Here was his response:
     "Man, I've certainly come a long way in my adventures in caching.  
September 2, 2001 was only a few weeks after I started.  How cool!    
Thanks for sending me the pics.  That rocks."

I looked at Dan Rich's profile. He has two caches (one being GC57). He 
has only found 10. He has not logged in to the site for over a year. I 
would not concider this an active cacher. Yes, he owns the cache. And, 
yes I respect that. I sent an email to him (through the site) asking if 
I could post them. We shall see what the response, if any is.

The respect for the cache owner is why I asked the original question. 
For those of you who have found the GC57 site, would those pics of the 
log book be of worth? Maybe. I sure enjoyed the reading. Also, for those 
who found it long ago, are the later logs of interest? Maybe.

If this were any ordinary cache, I would be less likely to go through 
this trouble. This one, though. I find to be more interestingly historical.

I did get an offer from Snaptek to host the pics on the AZGC site. Would 
this be appropriate?

What say you all?
