I just had a cache at Baker State Park approved by the Park that is an
ammo-box. I think they are OK with it. They have it as a choice on the
approval application.

I have been cleaning out all my old browser bookmarks for the year and
came upon this link. I have ordered from them once before. I have also
purchased ammo boxes from Uncle Sam's on Manchester Road in Ballwin.
I was surprised to see the cache container for a new cache in Babler State
Park was an ammo box.
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=105621. I re-read the
copy of the geocaching rules for Missouri State Parks and the copy I have
doesn't say that ammo boxes are prohibited. However, some government
agencies have problems with ammo boxes and get really bent out of shape if
you use one as a geocache (the whole Sept. 11th deal).
I prefer ammo boxes in the harsh and deeper woods vs. tupperware because I
have seem what animals and the elements do to plastic containers. Ammo
boxes are so much more sturdier and resistant to snooping animals.
