There are still places that allow Ammo cans but for the most part, I
think
SLAGA members tend to ignore them because of the questions on where they
are
allowed and where they aren't allowed.

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.
