A really Cool Resource for The St. Louis Area

  Not very far from where we live is the August A. Busch Conservation area. This area is a Huge outdoor recreation area that is open to the public and is For the Residents of Missouri. Very cool place for the Hunter, Fisherman, or outdoor Guy/Girl. Lots of Hiking paths. Two archery ranges, including one for Broad-heads. A shooting range. Lots of Lakes for fishing, Boats for rental. The area, during the 1940's was a major supplier of TNT for wartime use. The Park are is scattered with around a Hundred Bunkers.

Its Summer now so everything is a little overgrown, in the Fall/winter the Bunkers are more obvious. I'll take more pics and update this later.
 The area was cleaned up in the 1960's and all of the Radioactive material was placed in a Giant Dome like structure that is actually a hiking trail now.  Lots of people from the area talk about NOT eating the fish and other wildlife due to contamination. Personally I think that is just Rumor. Lots and lots of Hunters and fisherman frequent the area. In the 15 yrs i've lived here I have never heard of a case of contamination. This is just a very nice resource for those of us in the local area to use.
