edited February 2004 in General Discussion
Any body that wants to hook up with us before we go to the show, meet us at the Country Inn by 9:30 Am Friday morning and we can car pool in together.

Otherwise call one of us on the cell phone's and we will try to find ya at the show! Email me if ya need our cell phone#. Same goes Sat for Cabella's.

If your going for sure attach your names to this post so we know who to expect! This will help me decide if I need to wear my body armor or not!![^]

    Pa,

    It is unlikely that Mrs (back seat driver) njretcop and I will be there by 9:30am. We are 3 hours away and I cannot get her moving at 6:00am. [xx(]

    We will probably use plan B and call you guys at the show. I expect that we will arrive around, or shortly after 10:00am, unless I use the siren. [:D]

    So far it is a go for the Nutty family, will know for sure Friday night. If I go I will have the entire clan so look for a cranky redhead wanting to leave, a goofy boy wanting to buy a boat, a teenage * a leash and me carrying a baby looking like I am on LSD[:D]

    The Gunpaqs should be down there by mid to late afternoon. We are bringing our bathing suits for the pool if there is one at the Country Inn[8D].

    How about everyone meeting for a meal out somewhere, Friday dinner or Sataurday breakfast/brunch[?]

    Pack slow, fall stable, pull high, hit dead center.

    I think I am going to the gunshow on Saturday. I gotta figure out how to handle the woman.
    Anyone know what a woman and a one year old can do for a few hours in Harrisburg? Plan A is to go to Harrisburg by mysel.
    Plan B is to bring the wife and kid, have them drop me off and pick me up in a few hours.
    Plan C is to have the wife and kid come with me(I dont like plan C, so if anyone can suggest where I can send my wife for a few hours in Harrisburg, it would be appreciated).
    ALSO, I NEED DIRECTIONS FROM THE TURNPIKE!!!

    Salzo -- There's the outlet malls in Reading but that's probably farther than she's interested in going ,, not sure. I think the rest of us wives are staying at the show all day Friday & then ditching them after we see Cabellas Sat morning. So far the plan is to either meet at the hotel Fri AM or track each other down by cell at the show ,,, then dinner together Fri night. Cracker Barrel for breakfast Sat then Cabellas. Not sure what there is to do near Cabellas either.
    Don't know if this helps any. I plan on taking off & looking at things that interst me so she's welcome to tag along with me if she would like. Otherwise Plan A be might be better [;)][;)]

    I found good directions on mapquest, was going to do them for you but couldn't remember you're starting point. the directions I posted originally were from I-81 ,, wouldn't help you much [B)][B)]

    Hope this helps

    Ma,

    The Reading outlets are very near Cabelas! About 15-20 minutes away.

    You girls can go there after breakfast at Cracker Barrel, or tour Cabelas first, before going there.

    Sal, this Harrisburg show is not the Harrisburg gun show, but rather the Outdoor Sports Show. While there have been some guns there in years gone by, I understand there are less now. I believe that we are all coming from Harrisburg to Hamburg on Saturday morning to eat at Cracker Barrel and then go across the street to Cabelas.

    I am not the tour director on this trip, LOL. My information may not be correct. We will have to wait until more of the people that are going are on-line to compare notes.

    My cell phone is: 908 764-5805.

    Charlie-thanks for the clarification. That changes things for me. Im probably going to skip the "outdoor show" and go to Cabeleas instead.The wife likes going there, and we can hit the outlets afterwards. What time you all figuring on being at Cabelas?

    Just got home after spending 2 1/2 days in Harrisburg. Went over to Hershey & checked out the Chocklat deal & back to the show. It was
    pretty crowded each day after 12 oclock.There were very few guns there
    but lots of related items as well as some some not so related stuff,
    glue,cooking stuff and assorted junk.This was a very big show and would be very hard to see everything in one day.The food is pretty
    expensive and not very good.Bottled water $2.00, 16oz Bud. $5.00[:D].
    Traffic was pretty tough on the interstate because of accidents Mon.
    & Tue. There are sure a lot of oufitters there to book hunts with from Canada to Florida.I stayed at a Best Western about 7 miles from
    the show,got a mini suite that was real nice for 65.00 a nite.Hope all of the GB crowd enjoys it and ya,ll try to keep GHD from booking
    a expensive groundhog Safari.

    PA, the Outback sounds like a good place to meet for dinner. Should put in a reservation if everyone else feels the same so we have a spot.

    There is a Perkins less than a 1/4 mile from the motel also.

    Pack slow, fall stable, pull high, hit dead center.
