Also, even if ammo cans were not forbidden, most of the areas where I placed my
caches do not support a container that large.

Jason,
Ammo cans are wonderful but are forbidden in the St. Louis County
Parks. They are a "no no" and can't be used. Neither can PVC
pipe. I've done most of the caches along the Merricac and honestly don't
remember what containers they were but I'd guess they are "Tupperware" like for
the most part.
Welcome to the area. If you haven't found the SLAGA (St. Louis Area Geocachers
Association) web page yet, you can find us at: www.geostl.com
We have several events coming up in the next month or so. You are
welcome to join us.
