The great search for the elusive twelve gallon rubberneck

For reasons unbeknownst to me, nobody is carrying the 12-gallon rubberneck. I can find 18 gallon on up. I can find the long, flat 24 and 41qt. But I cannot find the simple, sturdy half-size 12-gallon bin.

Sure, the Empire of Evil has all manner of bins in hideous colors (translucent tan?), but they don't have solid 12-gallons, or really any 12-gallons. I might brave k-mart today, but it's bound to be over-run with back to schoolers and brand-spankin-new first years (they don't call them "freshmen" at UVA because they are only allowed to use monosyllabic words).

I might try the various independent hardware stores.

I want the 12 gallon size for ease in packing for our camping trip. The 18 gallon bins are just too big--things get lost in there. Shorter bins give me more packing options in the car--I can stand two of those side by side and Jericho won't feel so cloistered in the back seat. (Ever listen to a poodle claw at a pile of roughnecks?) Heck, I can fit more of the shorter bins in the trunk so I might not even *need* to put anything back with Jericho.

Anyhow, I'm off for a potentially fruitful (but likely fruitless) shopping venture. Wish me luck.
