Those people feed from the fear they can see in others...

I have never had a problem, and I am not female, but have been in some situations that could be scary to others...

The confidence you display can usually deter criminal activity, as criminals prefer the easy targets... (not limited to sexual crimes either), if you convince yourself that you can outsmart scary people and situations, you should never have a problem with victimization.

I grew-up in a poor area in California, and have seen some things that others shouldn't... I also know that crime happens everywhere, and we should always be mentally prepared to deal with this kind of situation.

On a lighter note though, I would love to be in that trailer... Sounds like you should get there quick and pull out everything you want and make a nice low, yet fair offer. I love this kind of scavenge hunt... Good Luck Daisy...

true,... but hight does nothing when there is a wepon,.=/

You're absolutely right. If there's a weapon, it probably doesn't matter how big or strong (or male) you are. However, that's not a likely situation and so I choose to take reasonable precautions, but not assume the worst.

Thanks! It should be fun! I wish I had any family members or "offline" friends who were into fish. It would be so much more fun with a fishy buddy. I have a good friend who would probably go with me anyway, though. We've been close since high school and we do all kinds of crazy stuff together. :

Offline friends? You mean those fleshies?

The only friends you need are your REAL digital friends...

so? was there hidden treasure??

I actually just went today. It was fun! Turns out he closed his store 15 years ago, so the stuff is a bit dusty (to say the least). There were tanks, stands, sumps (at least I think that's what they were), books, misc. small equipment (like algae scrubbers), a box of bio-balls... it was all crammed into a trailer, so it's hard to see everything. A flashlight would have been helpful.

Here's what he told me about the tanks before I went (which seemed accurate):

There are 8 40 Long aquariums. All are drilled for bulkhead fittings. There are many 20H a few 20L and several 10s all are drilled for bulkhead fitting. There are a couple 29s and one 30L undrilled.

I think there was also a 50 or two, but I couldn't swear to that. Be warned: several mice got into the tanks and could not get out, so there are some pitiful little mouse corpses along with the dust and spiderwebs.

There is also a smaller assortment of non-fish things---dog collars, hamster wheels, bird perches, and the like. I wasn't interested in that stuff, so I didn't look at it that closely.

He takes cash only. He said he might be taking the listing down soon because he's getting busy and won't have time to meet people, so if you are in the area and interested, I suggest you go ahead and contact him.

I ended up just getting a 40 long and a 20 long. If I had been getting more stuff, I might have haggled, but with just the two tanks I didn't bother.

All in all, I had a great time. I did get a friend to go with me, so the hour-long drive there and back was enjoyable, and I loved the adventure of it. If climbing through dusty junk in search of treasure is not your thing, then you might want to steer clear.
