Speaking from my personal experiences, I don't generally read the logs at all because I prefer to read the online logs as to avoid the biting insects. Still, why walk 10 miles for a cache you already know is a micro which you know you're not going to like?
I've hidden half a dozen caches to date, 3 of those being micros. I always make the effort to at least wrap the 35mm film canister in camo duct tape if not a more intricate camo job given I have time. I enjoy the challenge of finding these little guys but agree it can be tough in a forest setting with tree cover, a more suitable cache is called for here.
