Hi Stu,

If you get up around the Jacksonville area there are some neat things to
see. Southwest of Jax in Clay county is an army preserve called Camp
Blanding which was a giant staging area for the ETO troops in WWII. They
have a museum that includes some vehicles such as weasel, sherman, and C-47
Dakota. There are some german artillery pieces and an old barracks
building that has been converted to display uniforms and weapons. They
also have some Russian tanks and APC's from the middle east (probably
Desert Storm).

On the same road, hwy 21 to Middleburg, is a surplus dealer that has lots
of parts, tools, and green stuff. The place is called "Milcom Exchange
Electronics ". I always enjoy rooting around in his stuff and I always
come home with good stuff.
