When we talked to Jennifer at Babler she told us they didn't want ammo boxes
in there park.

  Subject: [GeoStL] Ammo Boxes as cache containers

  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.
