I'm going to print this thread out real small, roll it up, stick it in a film can, and place it under a park bench

My Family and I just got into this. Only 4 finds under our belt in 3 weeks, (Hey it is COLD out!) We go with our 1 and 3 yr old. So some of the longer treks are being saved for spring and the ability for the 1 yr old to walk a little better. (My arms get tired!)
So Micros have there place. We have been to some nice parks we never knew were there. Found an INCREDIBLE place to go sleding thanks to a Larger cache.
My brother's GF in FL turned me on to this. They found the micro in EPCOT. Said it was a plast because of how many people were around.
Since we started we have also been looking for place to hide our own. And 4 things keep coming into our minds:
1) Is it a nice place to go? Will people say, "Wow, I never knew that was there!" or "I'm glad we got to see that area?"
2) How many geomuggles are around?
3) Can we maintain easily?
4) How close is the nearest other cache?
That should pretty much do it. It is like writing a story. Where do you want to take the reader and why? Don't place a cache for the sake of placing one. Place one with meaning.
Just the thoughts of a noob. Happy Caching.
