Grand Forks?
 

Hey folks, I am in Brandon, Manitoba at the moment and was thinking of heading down to the Cabelas in Grand Forks on the weekend.I have never been to Grand forks or even nd/mn before so i was wondering what all a guy should check out. What other hunting shops in grand forks are good? Anything else that would catch my interest etc. I will be going by myself most likely for 2 days. Taking suggestions.

Not sure if this is the same for Canadians. But for us we need a passport to cross the border. Our wonderful politicians at work making life safer. LOL

RE: Grand Forks?
 

I checked that out the other day. I do not need a passport at this time unless i am flying. I can get in and out without it as long as i am driving. As of Jan23 07you need one to fly, and as of Jan 08 you will need one for vehicle entry also.

Unless theUND has a hockey game, there isnt jack chit in GF to do. Sorry man.

RE: Grand Forks?
 

The Cabelas in GF is small. Not worth driving there from Brandon.

RE: Grand Forks?
 

Do not listen to all the negative talk.

Stop at the Cabelas in E. Grand Forks. But make the drive to Fargo (one hour south and go to Sportsman's Warehouse and Gander Mountain. All three have muct to offer. Sportsman's Warehouse is awesome.

And the Mr. negative that said unless a hockey game is on at UND nothing to do is wrong. But the hockey is great have that young kid from Winnipeg Towes who is something else to watch!!

Check out the Red Pepper taco shack and get your self a balony, taco meat cheese grinder with whitesauce. Yum.

Yes i agree, seen him during the canada/us shootout in th jr's that boy can can buldge the twine.

RE: Grand Forks?
 

Hia said hw was going to GF not Fargo. I said that all there was is a hockey game, you came back with a taco shack? Would you drive for hours including crossing the border for a taco? get a grip man!

RE: Grand Forks?
 

Hia, I live 3 hrs from GF. Why dont ya keep on heading down. Ill take ya out fishin and drinkin for the weekend.

RE: Grand Forks?
 

Take the drive down 29 to Fargo. It's maybe another hour from Grand Forks. There are alot of choices there. There is a Scheels, Gander Mountian, Sportsman Warehouse been to all three. You could stay busy looking through everything. There are a ton of hotels and a few things to do in town

RE: Grand Forks?
 

Sorry if I was negative, but I got the impression that Hia was going to drive down there just to go to Cabelas. If that isthe case, its not worth it. I drove from home to SK last fall and if I remember correctly, it was about 5 hours from Brandon to GF. Like I said earlier, the Cabelas in GF is small. Now if you were going to one in Rogers, MN or Owatonna, MN and it was a 5 hour drive, it would be worth it.

RE: Grand Forks?
 

Lets face it GF is a boring town.

RE: Grand Forks?
 

The Rogers and Owatonna Cabelas stores are great. You could spend a hole day looking around and drooling over the mounts !

RE: Grand Forks?
 

Well I went and am back.Tis a 4 hour drive, actually i made it 3.5 there lol. Got my vehicle tossed at the border thats always a fun time. I don't know why they even ask me questions. I tell them i don't have any booze weapons etc yet they pull me aside anyways while the guy in front of me and behind me gets let go. Guess us school teachers look like terrorists lol. Annnyways as for the cableas it was pretty good it had everything i was interested in, ya it's prolly not the biggest but a heck of alot bigger than any store i have been to in Canada. I lurked the store for probably 7 hours in total, was gettin weird looks from the staff after awhile. lol. As for the town well i didn't live it up too much at all, was alone so played it safe. Stayed in a motel and watched the huntin channel since i don't get it up here. People seemed unbelivably friendly down there, opening doors for you, making conversation etc was different but good. Only complaint is don't drink the water there. I drank a bit from my motel and spit it back up in the sink. Then i was at this classy type of mexican place eating supper and i ordered a water, got the same slough water again.[:'(] Maybe next time i go i could hit up fargo, or possibly fishin with tee. Had to be back for a meeting Sunday and my funds are now a bit stretched :(

Our water varies very much between the different cities. 10 miles can make all the difference in the world. I do have to agree that minnesotans are very nice[8D]. Did you enjoy The Outdoor Channel?
