Meeting an Old Friend

Cabela's E Hartford Ct

I’ve had few opportunities to meet other outdoor bloggers but yesterday Rick Kratzke of Whitetail Woods and I met up at the Cabela’s in East Hartford Connecticut. We have both been blogging for a number of years and talked on line but have never met face to face. My route home from my New England trip took me right by the Cabela’s and the opportunity for us to finally meet.

We had a great time walking around the store looking at stuff with many of the objects prompting one of us to tell a story or two. The time passed to quick and I had to get back on the road and headed home. Pretty amazing that a couple of deer hunters meet up on the internet a number of years ago and become friends. Technology is great.
The Cabela’s in East Hartford is a bit tricky to find, especially if your brand new GPS dies on the trip (future story), because it seems to be in an odd place and not visible from the highway. Once you find it you won’t be disappointed. There is some spectacular displays in there…. My favorite was the two bull moose fighting.
If you’ve never checked out Whitetail Woods blog you should go over and checked it out. Rick has some great info and stories over there as well as some great recipes.

I had a great trip and have some more photos and stories to share with you but right now I got to get some rest because Monday morning will be here before we know.
