Welcome! My advice to you, and some might not agree, but find as many caches as you can before you hide any. Get a feel for what works and what doesn't. Once you have done this, Go for it! Have fun!

Thanks, I have found 18 caches so far and yes I am still getting a feel for it. I plan on just searching and discovering for a while before I decide to hide. I want to learn from others on the forums and my friends who geocache as well.
Cheers!
