I'd been in those type stores on a smaller scale, but this was the cream of the crop! It's only 8 minutes away from my house.

Magnum's been wanting to go and we'll probably make it there eventually, but it's not too high on my priority list. The new BPS, though, is practically in our backyard. I thought of your men while visiting.<br />I was recently sorting some photos from Meego's elementary school days. I almost didn't recognize him in the ones where he was wearing long pants.

Funny to see that kind of wilderness settings in deep south Texas. I agree with Terri that Cabela's is on par with Bass Pro. A real guy kind of store. Interesting stores with lots of neat things but I typically hit them only during the holiday season for gifts for the nephews and brothers (think hunting theme). Nothing says Merry Christmas like some camouflage gear from BPS or Cabela's. agg79https://www.blogger.com/profile/08925069219602681862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-2879283877468107842013-11-24T08:14:53.439-07:002013-11-24T08:14:53.439-07:00You sure this is a store?

And there's a Cabela's (on par with your Bass Pro Shop) in the making, just about 2 miles from home. The boys are nearly crawling out of their skin with excitement. Every time we drive past, Mark comments on the progress. I am mildly entertained by these stores, but won't be a regular customer.<br /><br />I notice that Meego is wearing shorts in spite of the fact that you stated it's bitterly cold.

The closest one to us is an hour or more away, so we don't hit 'em too often.<br />It's a little early to be "done" with winter, but I'm feeling the same way.
