I am actually trying to find a specific gift for Rog, this year, one which will be a suprise because I know he actually wants it and it won't be clothes. It is kind of unusual and I am not having any luck, except for these two at eBay. Now, I am watching them, but they end so close to Christmas, I don't think they'd be here in time, if I win the bid, SO...I've been looking all day on the Internet and had no luck. (In case the link doesn't work, they are Desert Canvas Water bags. People who travelled across the deserts of the West, up through the 60's that I remember, would soak the canvas bag in water, then fill it, tie it to their front bumper for those long journeys. The evaporation kept the water cool, for thirsty travellers or an overheated car.)

I found one company in San Francisco, propcity, which rents them, but will not sell them. The only place they could recommend, G&M's in San Francisco does not have any, either. No, do my local Army surplus or RV stores, in fact the old fellah at the RV parts place laughed and told me the two on eBay may be the only ones "left in captivity!" *BG*

Anyway, do any of you know is these are still available, ANYWHERE? I'd really love to surprise him with this.

Thanks a bunch!
