Yup did not notice to many deals out there that I could not get at my local tackle shop, in fact I propably could get better. My son did find a good deal on a pocket knife at Army and Navy and I found a good deal on a Woods tri-pod chair, both of these items he needed for school. He also got some good info on hunting.

A family friend runs his booth there every year. Can I say it's Northern Rockies Lodge? ;) I came out yesterday afternoon to help dissect the display and cart out for them. I waddled around and saw nothing that made me whip open my wallet. I kinda liked those cool tent-ish trailers that folded out into a tent condo, but at 55 , I don't to spend hours of valuable holiday time putting something like that up, I find I prefer lodges, cabins and motels. My son, his wife and kids can benefit from my plethora of camping gear now. I can get my knife even sharper now from one of the info sessions. I had to walk in from New York as the parking lot was so full. $15 for 2 hot dogs on dried up stale buns and 2 cokes made me feel like I was at a Canucks game. And they charge for onions? :D Not mt cup of tea, but I'm a grumpy old fart that doesn't like crowds.

Thanks for the offer Aaron but I already have the books. I am going to get him to read them as soon as we move into our new house in  2 weeks.  ;D
