  Are there battery chargers for your car?? Since I am on the road a lot, it
would be an advantage to charge while driving from cache to cache or city to
city..

    Those throw away batteries fill up landfills with toxic chemicals.  They
also cost lots of money.  You can buy a 4 pack of recharable NiMH batteries
for $15 and a charger for about $20-30.  They also last alot longer than
throwaways (particularly the newer 1800 mah) and will save you money in the
long run.  You can recharge them 1,000 times and they do not have memory
issues like the NiCads.  You can also get chargers that charge them in one
hour.

      Glen, and to everybody actually;                         3/18/03

        Just thought I would mention that with the K-Mart at Page and I-170
liquidating all their instore stock, there is a heck of a Blue-Light Special
on the following:
      ; AA batteries, 12 packs for 40% off, about $3.25/pk.
      ; throwaway cameras, about $3.50 each
      ; real film is very cheap, 4 and 5 pack deals
      ; kids doodads are all mixed up, but generally 60% off
         I did not see tupperware, but didn't actually  look for it.
Plenty of stuff to stock those caches with though --  Hey, I have an idea ,
how about a "K-Mart Cache"!!??
