Trail Map to the Bethel Bike Trail Geocaches
Here's a bike trail map that's almost a spoiler, but it should be a help in planning a ride or hike that loops around to all the caches with a minimum of backtracking. Use it, or not, as you choose.

Thoughts on Cache Boxes
Regular Size
Ammo boxes are the best, period. Tough, waterproof, OD green from the start (and easily paintable), available, and cheap. 30 cals hide easier, but 50 cals can hold bigger items.
Micros
35mm film cans are lousy. Plastic match safes are best. Wind some green-ish para cord around it to loop it around a limb, wrap some green tape around it to cover the usually orange plastic and to hold the cord in place, and it's ready to hang out there in a bush in less than 5 minutes.
