[GeoStL] Re: Texas trip over and...

I think a "Best of" list is really a great idea. While Strider & & were on our 
trip a couple weeks ago, while in Nashville we worked exclusivly off of their 
"Best of" list, thereby avoiding a lot of 1/1 caches, lamp post caches and easy 
micros. We discussed setting up something up for the SLAGA area so visitors 
would have something to work off of while here. I would also like to see "Best 
of" lists for other Missouri areas & perhaps Illinois too. I know it will be a 
lot of work to set something like this up and am willing to help out anyway I 
can. Having used "Best of" lists from other states I know that it will be worth 
it in the end.

All I can say is WHEW! Texas is hot right now--the Spurs are winning (well, 
usually) and the temperature is hitting 100+. It was hot! They have several 
unique, i.e. creative, caches, but St. Louis has them beat for quality. I don't 
believe I have ever found (nor would I want to!) a Firestone parking lot cache, 
or a cache at the little green landscaping "park" next to the grocery store 
parking lot. San Antonio had MORE of those type caches than I care to find. One 
was called Howard Butts Park cache. Turns out that Howard Butts is Howard E. 
Butts and he owns or started the HEB grocery stores. Very funny...the first 
time...but do you need TONS of them? NO...

The best thing about San Antonio caching was how easy it was to separate the 
junk (Howard Butts Park, Grocer's Re-leaf, etc) from the truly outstanding 
caches (I'm not quite paperless, 13 Days in 30 Minutes, Sauerkraut Bend). It 
was extremely easy to do because they have created and maintain a "Best of" 
list. They nominate caches for the lists in separate different types of 
categories and then they vote on the best each year. I worked off of the "Best 
Of...2004" list, and I found some nifty caches. Here is a link to that list: 
http://home.netcom.com/~msbhavin/saga/index.html . I think we need something 
like this for St. Louis. It could be part of the SLAGA website. One of the 
categories should be "Caches which a visiting cacher MUST hit before leaving 
town..." type category. WHat do you think? Ideas? Suggestions?
