Next Thursday I'm going to Pennsylvania for a motorcycle rally in Johnstown (Thunder in the Valley). On the way I'm going to stop at Juniata Trading Company on rt 30 in Everett, great shop. While in PA, I'll head up to the inlaws for a day and hit RMC in Mingoville, excellent shop. These are two of my favorite places to shop for muzzleloaders/accesories and I'll get to hit both in a four day span.

I need to pick up more Goex 2f and 3f as well as some conicals, roundballs, and wonder wads for the .45 which should arrive in time for my trip. The seller won't be able to ship until Monday so I'm going to askhim toship it to my parents house in PA so I don't have to take it on the motorcycle. (I've done it beforewith a renegade, barrel in one saddle bag and stock in the other).

My wife is heading up a few days ahead of me and she's takingup the flinter renegade with gm LRH barrel for me foranother range session after the first range session that left me a little disappointed. No sabots this time, but will feed it a variety of conicals. Look for a range report on Saturday or maybe Sunday.

Whoever said Disney World is the happiest place on earth is full of crap and has never been to RMC!

Sounds like a wild shopping trip. Have a good time. And be safe out there.

Sounds like fun.
I have played music in Johnstown,I think that is where the big flood was and they have one of those inclined plane trains,pretty neat and a great flood museam.

Ah yes, Johnstown's claim to fame, the floods, 1889 and 1977. Other than that the town has been pretty worthless. It is however home to the world's steepest incline plain. Both the flood museum and the incline plain are field trips for all the local students. As a local prior to moving, I didn't take too much interest in either attraction, but they are pretty neat.

Thunder in the Valley brings an estimated 200,000+ bikers to the area and is a huge boost for the local economy. It's really a neat event if your into such things.

Plus, like I already said it gives me a reason to get up north and hit two of my favorite shops. Most people know RMC because of their catalogues and online sales, but they usually have a handful of used muzzleloader and various GM barrels for sale too that aren't listed. As for size, they are housed in an old roller skating rink. I can't wait.

Cory-

Not sure just where you are there,but have you heard of
Dicksons(spelling) muzzleloading shop near Allentown?
Now there is a place to see,if you like old guns and such.
They even have cannons and mortors...I think they have
a fair there as well in July and shoot these older motors
and cannons..They have everything you ever wanted..
I was there a couple of times before..

Some things are high priced,but most are about average..
Just thought I would throw this in here...Johnny

That is D i c k s o n s I can't beleive it wouldn't come out
as written????

Yea Johnny, I've heard of Dixon's but have never made it to the shop or to the fair. Dixon's is about 200 miles from where I'm going to be and I don't have any spare time for a side trip on this visit. I'd like to make it to the fair sometime just to check out all of the different vendors. I'm thinking of maybe picking up a kit or some parts, with minor work required(i.e. inletted stock)to build my own muzzleloader and hear that Dixon's fair is the place to shop.
