I like cache's that introduce me to new area, that do not end up at the end of the trip. When I place a cache in a area I try to place it in the middle so that people can explore around it if they choose, or choose not to. Or if a long way out there i might place one at a half way point so that people are not driving and driving or walking and walking...
