I only have a 123 finds but nearly all of them are NOT in urban areas.
Different people cache for different reasons. Mine is to get out into the
woods and see some pretty areas. Urban caches are not high on my priority
list. When I look at all the caches in St Louis, it is no wonder than many
people in the group have 500+ logs. You can find that within 40 miles of
downtown St Louis.
I have done caches that take half a day for a single find. How many caches
could you find in St Louis in half a day?

I agree with Tim here .....I have to drive nearly 90 miles any more just to
find caches I have not done and it is very very disappointing to not be able
to log a planned cache. If I can make a reasonable effort and not find it
that is one thing but to get there and not be able to log it due to the
inability to retrieve it without being discreet is something esle again. so
I straddle this issue somewhat .....but I always make a point of covering a
cache much better than it was found and this is NOT the case with some. I
have found my caches lying completely in the open ....uncovered....or highly
visible when I went to check them and this is discouraging as it invites
theft and it is especially discouraging with an urban cache which gets more
traffic than one in the country.

When you live 40 miles from the caching area it does become a big deal to
find it!
I'm not going to drive forty miles and not get to log a cache because it's
in a high traffic area!

There may be times when you
will just have to pass on a cache because it is not accessible when you are
hunting. If a cache is urban, there is a pretty high chance that you will
not have traveled miles just for THAT cache! It's not like hiking 5 miles up
hill and not being able to log a cache. You will have other caches you can
find. So I still think it is fair to say that if the cache will be
compromised, and you can't cover up what you are doing, wait.
