The Bushnell Banner scopes are crap. Spend the extra money and get a Nikon prostaff...waterproof, fogproof, shockproof, and a lifetime warrentee. On top of that, they are fairly affordable ($120-200).
The Jordan River, in the Middle East, is the lowest river in the world. It ends in the Dead Sea, at a depth of 1,312 feet (400 meters) below sea level. The river is important to Christians, Jews, and Muslims because of its location in an area that is holy to all three.
The Dead Sea was discovered by the Israelis sometime around 323 B.C. Located in the Judean Desert area, the Dead Sea is between Jordan and Israel. The weather here is typically sunny and dry throughout the year. It is about 400 meters (1,320 feet) below sea level, this being the lowest place found on Earth. It is one of the smallest seas in the world.
