Eddies Picnic Friends cache has been around since 9/30/2001 when SLAGA had their first annual picnic. Although the cache was placed in Babler after Rockwoods determined that caching was not supportive of their plans for Rockwoods Reservation, It still is the first cache hidden by the St. Louis Area Geocachers Association.

I received a call from Hannah (Oh look, a palindrome, like "pull up Hannah, pull up!") Sorry, got sidetracked, anyhow she told me that the permit expired and that we needed to remove the cache. I asked about extending the permit and she replied that there was to be a controlled burn in that area and she suggested moving it to another spot.

It was so awesome there. So I have pulled the cache and temp disabled it. I will move to another location and have Glenn change the coords so it will remain in Babler. We just cannot let the historic caches die. Now to find a great little spot for it. Any suggestions? Would some one else like to hide it? It makes no difference to me. I was just the permit holder but the cache belongs to SLAGA and everyone who caches.

It is a large Tupperware container that I replaced the original Ammo box when the State Parks first did their policy of No Ammo boxes. Now, they allow them but I went out and bought the largest tupperware container I could find to replace the large ammo box. It has received some good comments on it's size.

If no one wants to hide it in the next few days, I will head out and place it along one of the many trails and apply for the permit.
