Re: [Az-Geocaching] Cache Placing Philosophy

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... Guess the
bottom line is I want the finder to feel they are incontrol of there
atventure not me


just my 2 cents
