I have to agree with the previous cacher who expressed frustration with Micro's being placed with apparently little forethought or effort. Especially when a larger cache could easily have been hid nearby. It's one of my pet peeves with a recent flood of caches in the VERY rural county that I live in (VanBuren county, Michigan). Nearly 90% of the caches here are micro's. And WHY??? Just a little bit more looking around after finding them yields several places that a larger cache could have been easily hid.
There just doesn't seem to be a good reason for hiding a micro there other than lazyness and being cheap while pumping up their stats. It's not like it's in town or there is no natural cover. Most of these are hidden in trees at Public access sites to a lake, and most access sites here have a small section of woods screening it from nearby houses. I'm not exactly made of money, but I've found that re-cycling plastic drink mix containers by covering them with camo tape makes for great, small cache containers. Some small trading items can easily be placed in them, along with the log book. And it's probably even cheaper than buying all those waterproof match containers.
Half the fun for me is trading TB's and just plain seeing what's in the cache, even if I don't trade. Waterproof match containers and log "books" of rolled paper get really old, really quick.
