I've recently acquired 20+ ammo cans through work. I've decided that instead of running around posting new caches, I thought I'd use these to clean up older caches in need of repair. I know there's a few regular size caches in Eagle River that could use a new container (and a little TLC) to keep them up and running, even though their owners haven't logged on in forever. I'm not looking to adopt any caches, I just want to help clean up some of the older, more battered regular size caches out there. And they don't have to be abandoned by their owner either; if you have a cache that's cracked, let me know, I'll log it and leave it in a new can. So tell me about them and I'll do what I can, Happy Caching!

Very nice idea. I hope you get some input. Thanks for the effort. I did that once with a cache in Eagle River and the owner was most grateful.

You'll use your supply of ammo cans pretty fast. Many people use Tupperware for containers and animals seem to chew a hole in the sides, so many of them need to be replaced. The Tupperware in the mountains seems to hold up better but it still is up to cachers to close the lids correctly. If people put in their online log of a cache I would like to find that the container is damaged I’ll put an ammo-can in the backpack and see if that will work to replace the container. I know LBK and others do the same thing so our sport hopefully will not become a geo-litter sport. Last year I replaced one on the Crow Creek trail behind the Eagle River Visitors Center in the campground. That cache was all over the campground, it looked really bad. The log had been shredded and there were little stickers everywhere. Maybe there is a bear out there with a little rainbow sticker on his nose? ;D Thanks for the help!
