I am probably beating a dead horse, but has anyone tried to work with
St. Louis county to reverse this issue.
Everyone of my ammo cans has been painted flat brown with either
geocaching stickers or a stenciled geocaching logo on the side.
Lock'n'locks are good, but I am still a fan of the can. Especially if
I need to chain it to a tree where it could possibly be under water.
