Anyone vist Cabelas in Hamburg, PA? I think it would be a good way to get rid of a winta week-end. I believe its a bout 5 hr drive.

have'nt been yet but would like to go....

Funny you mention it because I have been trying to convince hubby to go on a road trip for months now!:D

We should rent one of those 10 passenger vans, evryone splits it, and go in feb or March

I'm up for that:btu:

10 passenger van??? are you having purchases shipped home???:laughs: ;)

Haven't been yet, but got some hefty coupons for the place. Any New Jersey-ite or Pennsyltuckian will tell you that's a nice area of PA to visit and we do just what was suggested earlier to ward off the winter blues. Book a hotel, with a pool for the kids, if possible, and take advantage of some of the great outlets, sample the Pennsylvania-Dutch fare, maybe hit some antique barns or investigate the local history of the area. The Reading-Lancaster area is a great place to get away and not spend a small fortune doing so and not be poverwhelmed by crowds. I'd be curious when you're going, be cool to hook up somewhere.

My wife and I were on our way for a little trip down to Hershey and the Amish country and were heading down I-78 in PA and I started seeing the billboards for Cabela's. She said if you want to stop we'll stop, because how often do you get out that way. So we stopped. What a sight. This store had everything you could think of. Prices were, well, Cabela's prices. People were friendly. Had some good deals in the bargain area. They had lots and I mean lots of heads mounted on the walls all through out the place and in the center of the store they had the 2+ story waterfall with full mount animals ranging from martins to musk ox and grizzly bears. They had trout and other fish in the indoor ponds and aquariums. I was not in the market to purchase anything, but was definitely worth the stop.
