Cabela's

When Doug learned that the Cabela's main world headquarters was located in Sidney, NE, just 30 miles from us, of course we had to visit.

Right off the freeway we found this huge complex consisting of not just a large hunting, fishing and outdoor gear store, but they also have a big rv park, a horse camping area, truck and rv parking (overnight) and what appears to be their main headquarters buildings.

We checked out the rv park which was very nice, clean and well kept but a little too pricey for our blood. (Make that waaaay too pricey!)

Then we entered the store to wander and drool over all of the items Doug thought he needed. But as we meandered and checked prices we discovered that everything is horribly overpriced. Maybe we just haven't done enough retail shopping lately and are out of touch. Still even Doug was terribly disappointed with the place.

After our short visit, we picked up a few groceries and headed home.

Near our rv park we found the Pony Express Park with a lovely little lake. It was so peaceful and relaxing that we spent a while gazing over the water and watching the blue gills dart through the weeds.

The park was named for one of the hundreds of historical pony express stations that was located nearby. It was a nice way to end the day.
