That explains the lack of ammo cans out here. Boy thought ya'll had something
against them. They are the container of choice in VA followed by a good
lock-n-lock. As long as the ammo can has no military markings on it, they can
be used.

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.
