I got my first rifle at 10, in 1962, a Mossberg M44 US, that my pops picked up at the base surplus shed for $5 bucks. When I started driving in '68, we could drive from the Bay Area to Yosemite and back for $5 in my '66 VW. $2 bucks to fill up, $1 in Yosemite (it was expensive there, $.33 a gal), $2 bucks in Oakdale got us home. For another 5 spot you could bail out a case of "C" rations and feed the crew for a weekend. PAX
