Cabela's in Phoenix - A Sportsman's Paradise

After visiting Mom today, Kathy, Rich, Wesley and I went to Cabela's. I've never been here before not being much of a sportsman, but even I can appreciate a beautiful store and an ingenious marketing idea. Not only does Cabela's have everything that a normal sporting goods store has, it also has a museum-fare cafe and a huge mountain covered with taxidermied animals taken by local hunters. There is also a "gun library" for anyone who collects guns and wants to do research about their origin and value. Really impressive.(Photo courtesy of Rich Benton's cell phone!)

It was about 84 degrees today, so quite a switch from MV. It's supposed to get hotter over the next couple of days. Laurie tells me it was 90 degrees in San Diego this morning! Crazy.
