We went to the new Cabela’s just outside Reno yesterday and my word, what a giant outdoor store. The place was packed with people and equipment. I kept imagining being the only one in there the night before and how small you would feel. The fist tank and stuffed animal exhibits (American Mountains & African Plains) were put together wonderfully. Amy was amazed at the size of a Tuna that was mounted on the wall (Blue 450 lbs and a Yellow Fin at 385 lbs).
I got a pair of Rocky hiking boots that were the most comfortable I have ever had.
Cool place.

I’ve heard a store of comparable size is planned for Sparks, which blows my mind. Can Reno-Sparks really support TWO massive sporting goods stores?!
Yes but instead of Outdoor – Hunting and Fishing it’s all sports. Scheels is actually going to be twice the size of Cabelas. So Reno will have 3 Sports Authority’s, Sportsmans, Several Big 5′s, Cabelas and Scheels. I’m not sure how we are going to support them but I hope so. Options are good. I have also heard rumor of a Pro Bass Shop coming too.
I need to swing by the new one in Reno and see how it compares to the Utah one
– I go there often though, it really is a fun store, whenever we have visitors in our home from out of state we always take them there to check it out and they are usually impressed.
Yeah they are pretty cool. I could spend hours just wandering around looking at all the gadgets and toys.
