I think we tend to emulate fellow cachers, who's hides impress us. For me it was Laughing Terry's hides. I think a lot of my first 25 cache finds were ones placed by him.
I think BRDad and Laughing Terry inspired me . . . I figured it was easy to hide a nano or micro, but much, much harder to come up with a clever way to hide a small or regular cache and these two guys showed me that there are ways to even hide an ammo can without resorting to piling rocks or sticks on top of them . . . and to me that is one reason I enjoy hiding larger caches . . . it's more of a challenge to come up with a tricky hide for these caches.
