[GeoStL] Re: New regulations for Corps areas...ammo cans banned??!!

Yea, saw that but I would not worry about it until the corps contacts at the lake contacts us and tells us something different. 

Most of these off limits locations would not be permitted anyway.

This was posted in the MoGeo forums...will this ruling affect the caches placed around Mark twain Lake for MOGA? According to a post made my the initial poster, this ruling comes from Washington...and is to affect *all* Corps management offices... 

Here's the original post:
"Went out to the Corps office at Clinton Lake to ask about a cache I wanted to place out there and was told that they have recently imposed regulations on geocaches. Ranger Rhoades also said that they will be contacting cache owners about these new regulations. So if you guys have or want to place caches on the Corps property you'll have to follow these rules:
-Geocache objects or containers should be clearly identified as such when placed on public lands. Transparent containers are required, due to homeland security issues. Caches should not contain alcohol, illicit, or other inappropriate materials.
-Geocaching activities will not be allowed to occur in restricted areas where there could be conflicts with project security, or the safety of the general public.
-Geocaching will not be allowed on unstable banks, cliffs, or below the (your lake's flood elevation) pool level.
DANG IT!! DANG IT!! DANG IT!! No ammo cans, no key boxes, no nanos, no decon containers, no camo tape/paint. Now I have to go move my PVC monkey puzzle box.
I see and understand they're concerns for they're and others safety. It just bites me that a few crazy lunatics, mostly in the middle east, have gotten everyone over here all scared and paranoid. If it's my time to go and it's a booby trapped geocache, then that's the way I go."
