Hear, hear! I'll match your 2 cents and raise the
booty by another 2!

I have four kids that often help me during the
"easier" excursions. As their parent, its very
gratifying for me to see my young'uns succeed at
finding these caches. Not only does their success
boost their self esteem, but they have become more
aware of their surroundings. Out in the field, the
kids tend to see more birds, lizards, snakes, etc. In
the urban environs, their stealth mode kicks in which
is a great exercise in quieting the mind.

So while I agree with the notion of putting thought
into placing a cache, the easy ones do have a niche.
