Go Up Go Down

Well I got up to early 2:30am and then fell asleep and missed my goal of being on the beach by 7am. I think I got there about 10 and it started raining just a few hours later. Anyway found about $2 in clad and a bunch of pull tabs.

While hunting I was working from the water to the seawall in a tight W pattern. I was about 25 feet from the wall when I heard cash and I thought someone threw sand at me. When I looked up a 4-wheel bike had run off the wall and bounce off a trash can landing just a few feet in front of me. Had this happened 30 seconds later it would have landed on me!! After that I kept my distance from the wall. 10 year olds don't  need to be driving by themselves. I don't recommend hunting close to the wall when it is full of bikes.


After the rain started I had some pretty good finds a little further inland at some shops.

Good advice and a great set of books for the area.  Especially the map and the indian papers.

I paid to much for the Indian Papers, but it is the complete set and I don't think they have ever been opened. I say I paid to much I got them for about $15 dollars less than current retail.

I forgot to mention New Moon on Blue Ray and a dead car battery which allowed me to do some reading wait on my wife to bring cable and give me a jump!!
