GeoNewbie2015

I am fairly new to Geocaching and it took me about a week of researching the topic before I decided to even download the app or make an account. In that time of research I am reminded of one important bit about hiding of a cache... it shouldn't be hidden in a place simply for the sake of hiding the cache, rather hidden in a place that has some significance to the CO. With that said I personally don't think the size of the cache is overly important if the journey and/or destination has a point. With only a handful of finds to my name I must say the few expeditions I have gone on to hunt have been interesting places with multiple caches in the area. Perhaps some people think a guard rail or a sign post on the side of a dirt road holds special significance but I don't seem to share the appeal. With THAT said I also think that placement is important within the area. Sure obscure parks or forests can be beautiful to visit, but throwing a bison tube or a tupperware container in the woods and giving general GPS coordinates kills the potential of the hunt for me. I guess the point of all this for me is that no matter the size of the cache to be found, until there are no other caches to find, I will always pick my new hunting grounds based on location rather than size. If the cache has only a log book... I'll sign the log book. If the cache has trinkets... I will enjoy looking through them imagining the stories behind them.
