- It's unfortunate, but I think it will happen here one of these days. We've been lucky but we're just biding our time. Years ago a large PVC pipe was discovered hidden in some bushes at Queeny park. A park ranger and police were called but luckily the rangers know about our caches and it was a non-issue. That was the incident that removed PVC pipe as an approved container in St. Louis county parks. Ammo cans are the other prohibited containers. I was in a park in Farmington hunting the Jonescrew caches and as I walked back to the car a policeman stopped me and asked if I was geocaching. I said yes and he said, "fine, enjoy your day". A neighbor had seen me walking in the park looking in a bush and thought that was suspicious so she called it in. Fortunately he was aware of caches in Farmington. Obviously these police/bomb squad problems wouldn't happen if we could somehow contact all of the necessary agencies and make them aware of our hobby. I don't think that will ever happen as there will always be someone down the line that doesn't get the word. Even placing "GEOCACHE" on every container probably wouldn't help since there's still a lot of people, both the public and police, who have never heard the term.
