Its a 4 hour drive for me to get to the Dundee cabelas

but they are building one in WV which is only like an hour and 45 minutes! It will be open fall 04.

We have a Gander Mountain about 25 miles away in Henrietta,NY. I am impressed with the store. I try to hit the Bass Pro stores when I vacation (Orlando,Fla- Concord,NC- Dania Beach,Fla and the best one Springfield,Mo ).
You almost need to pack a lunch when going to them as there is sooooo much to see.

I have a Gander Mountain about 20 minutes away and they are trying to get a Bass Pro in the old Sabres arena in Buffalo so maybe I will have both someday soon.

Now if Cabelas would just come to town

I've been to that Gander Mountain. It's right of exit 47 from the thruway isn't it? I wouldn't hold your breath about another bass pro going only a couple hours away from the Auburn one. This thing is going to be huge economically for our county.

I just read about that in our local fish wrapper.Great news. We will check it out. That Gander Mountain is a nice shop, real close for me and Joe. We also have a Dick's and Gallyan's just a stones throw from Gander. I'm spoiled but I love it.

My buddies girlfriend moved to Auburn to be the GM at the Sears in the same mall. Supposedly she has a couple tickets to give me for their pre Grand opening party. I'll believe it when I see them. He's a bit of a story teller.
