Japanese items left behind on Kiska Island in the middle of the Bering sea. I enjoy coming across old relic sites. None I've come across are anything like this, but I have come across many in my travels. Old homesteads, gas stations and mining camps. The story I always read about them is, there once was an idea that someone or somebody's, just gave up on for what ever reason that be. You never know as they could have been just inches away from the mother load?. Back in 1990 I took a sales job, because a fella had just quit because things were just not improving in his territory. I was handed all his sales reports and read that he was getting very frustrated over a company that sold out, but the buyer of that company didn't buy all the existing inventory. This from what I could tell had gone on for six months on some high dollar consumables used in rock drilling. When I started the job I indeed did experience lost sales due to this inventory being sold off at fire sale prices. It wasn't 3 months in to the job that all that surplus stock was finally exhausted and non was left to buy. After that my sales just began to skyrocket. If only that former sales rep had just held on a little more it would have been him instead of me the reaped the rewards. We all know the Japanese had to give up or they'd all cease to exist.
