It depends,
In the summer I prefer caches that require 1 mile or less of a hike and =
that are a terrain rating of 3 or less.
Outside of the summer months I PREFER the longer caches...of a terrain =
range of up to 4.5.
However, one thing that you didn't get into in your questions was who =
was with me. If it is just me and my 10 year old, we will go after =
anything....but I do most of my caching with a baby (well I guess he's a =
toddler now) but was a baby strapped to my back in a baby back pack. I =
generally won't take him on anything where the terrain is more than a =
3.5...not because of the strain it puts on me, but it isn't appropriate =
taking him on those...he's a human cargo and I have to be aware of what =
the boulder hopping or climbing with him is doing to him...also the =
weather in the hot months.
I know that there are a lot of caching families out there and the caches =
they choose to do may be because of limits that they have with their =
children...It all comes down to why do we do this. For us, it is time =
spent together...so I put the considerations of my family ahead of what =
I would actually prefer to do when caching.
Besides, they are all fun in one way or another.
