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.
Dear crotalus,

Did you take I-78 from Harrisburg?

I drove it from Rt 743 to Rt 61 on Thursday and the last 20 miles from about the Midway Exit to Rte 61 in PA could induce labor in an elephant. That stretch of road is the absolute worst stretch of paved road on the Planet Earth. It's just as bad westbound too.

I'm glad you enjoyed the show. I'm betting that if I hadn't made that ride up I-78 on Thursday my truck wouldn't have broken down on the PA Turnpike Friday night enroute to a buddy's in Philly where I planned to stay overnight before going to the show.

Look me up when it warms up and we'll go fishing.

Best Wishes,
Avalon
