A handpainted sign along Gleeson Road points down a dirt track:
"Two scenic miles to Rattlesnake Crafts and Rocks." It'd be a
tourist trap, if there were any tourists here. It'd be a roadside
attraction, but Gleeson's not much of a road. What it is, though,
is a fun and worthwhile trip to an amazing combination open-air
museum and gift shop filled with items crafted from rattlesnake
hides.
The creators and curators of Rattlesnake
Crafts, John and Sandy Weber, granted us permission to place a
cache within their display of Western antiques and oddities. The
ammo box looks right at home amongst the milkcans, kerosene
lanterns, rusted license plates and eccentric metal sculptures. We
chained it to a post in the shade under a wooden shelf, but didn't
otherwise hide it. Spend the time you save looking for the cache
exploring this fun place.
Our photos are attached to a note below in order to use the slideshow
feature. When you visit, remember your camera; you'll regret it
if you don't! Rattlesnake Crafts is open daily dawn to dusk.
There's no charge for admission, though there are items for sale
in the gift shop.
