For anyone who might be in the Jefferson area this weekend, there are some ammo boxes for sale at the gun show — held at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds.
They had a HUGE!!! ammobox there too for $25. You could fit a small child or dog in there!
They also had a GPSr there that looked to be about 100 years old (yes, hyperbole is my friend). It was $250. Yeeoch!

Speaking of old GPSrs … maybe I don’t understand the techology … but I suspect it MIGHT be possible to have a GPSr that so old that it doesn’t any longer work with the satellite network … I THING!?!
A friend of mind got one as a gift like 12 years ago, never used it … Garmin Trailblazer, I think it was … asked me if it would work for geocaching. I put the first set of batteries in that the thing had ever seen … fired it up, for problem only .00 accuracy rather than .000 … but a bigger problem is that I set it out in a clearing for 6 hours and it never picked up more than one satellite signal.
Unless the unit is defective, there seems to be an issue there.
