:grin: I took a ride to the new Cabela's store yesterday just to be nosey(about 20 miles east).It sure is a huge store.Everyone here is very excited that we will soon have a store of this caliber here in eastern Pa.I believe it will be the first one east of the mississippi river.They had a huge scupture in the front center,but it was all covered up.We tried to look inside but was told to come back next week.It looked like it was open but actually the have about 750 employees parked there.
Last fall on my trip to Wyoming we passed the Cabela's in Nebraska but didnt have time to stop.Also passed the one coming back in S.Dakota but didnt have time then either.
I'm sure it will be hard to get near there when it does open.They are supposed to have a huge aquarium,and a couple hundred wall hangers.I cant wait to see it all! My shopping list has been growing in anticipation.I will get back here and give the details when I go.Cabela's is expected to be a major boom to the local economy.Talk about a kid in a candy store,He He. :wink:

Ridge-runner : You will enjoy the trip, it will take more than 1 time to see it all, if it is like the one in Nebraska, I was impressed with the quality of the guns they carried in the special room.
