Jeananne really wanted this collection!

Coming back from WP2010 in Dallas, Greg and I decided to stop in Hot Springs, AR to heal our sore backs and knees.  We found The Battlefield: A Civil War Bookshoppe tucked into the beautiful lobby of the vintage Park Hotel. We found a private collection by a lifelong collector/historian D.R. Magee, including authentic Civil War memorabilia and art. See more photos and a restaurant review of Angel’s in the Park.

Two 22 caliber rounds went into this NRG logger!

Funny Story Here are some shots of an older NRG Cellogger, no longer in common use,  that took a couple of rounds from a 22 caliber rifle. One round went through the plastic casing after traveling through the metal shelter box, but the second one was stopped by the metal lining inside the logger. A shotgun blast took out the solar panel, but the logger still kept working until the batteries finally failed for lack of solar power. So these loggers are tough. They can take a barrel of buckshot and keep on logging.  See more photos.
