[Az-Geocaching] Cache Placing Philosophy

[Brian Cluff]

I guess it all depends on what your goals for the cache are.  Do you
really want a cache that is going to be found a lot, or do you want to
take the brave few to a new exciting place.
We snaptek types love being taken to a new place, and it shows in most, if
not all, of our caches.  Some of them are fairly difficult to get to, but
worth it once you get there. (Anyone, done freemont saddle want to back me
up on this :)
We've also got Labyrinth Canyon, that currently holds the record for the
least visited cache... too bad too, it's an interesting area, but I guess
the fact that you have to own a boat or rent one hinders a lot of
visitors.  Anyway, for us, it's not about getting a zillion people to the
cache, but getting the brave few, to see someplace nice or interesting.
