Actually, I think you will find that most of the old timers would disagree here. Sometimes owners place caches where the biggest challenge is finding out how to access the location. After all, how many times have we bushwacked through thorns to a cache location, only to see a developed trail only 20 feet from the cache. All part of the game.
In a park or forest I agree that part of the fun. But when your talking about a cache that is placed in a neighborhood park/walking trail that only has a few access points, a parking area or trail head marking is, in my opinion appropriate, to prevent cachers (strangers) from wondering around aimlessly and crossing into people yards.
One of the caches I ignored is a perfect example of this. The cache tells you what road to go down but that is it. The road leads right into the neighborhood. Several times My wife and I tried to find a trail head with no luck. In desperation we even asked some of the homeowners where is the walking trail. Needless to say after asking 3-4 of them and getting that odd look we gave up. Some of the logs that others who found the cache even mention possibly walking across private property.
