Thanks for the input guys. I thought about bagging the trip but decided to go. I am glad i did, it was well worth the ride except for the ride on I-78 in New Jersey. I dont ever want to hear anyone from NJ complain about PA roads being rough - man that is one bumpy road.

I got through all the exhibits in about 2 1/2 hrs but i didnt stop at the outfitters or the rod companies.

Next year i will plan for a much longer stay so i can take in more demonstrations and seminars.


i did get to meet Dot Man though.
