Fred Hall Show 2013

It's a sure sign of spring. it's almost as certain as having that groundhog, punxsutawney phil, NOT seeing his shadow and getting an early spring. Roger drove again. i think we burned a whopping 10 gallons of gas in his wife's prius on the way down. it's a great car to sleep in. we left late in the morning and arrive on thursday at 4pm. our first stop was western outdoor news to renew our subscriptions.

the crowds on the weekdays are nowhere near as bad as the weekends.

when you walk in, the first things you see are the boats. roger wanted to bring home a bass boat, but the prius wouldn't have gotten the boat over the grapevine. and then there are boats and kayaks in the back.

then we ran the gauntlet of booths with all kinds of things to sell.....

Thanks for sharing Al. Some real nice boats there

Thanks Alan, I would love to make it to a yank boat show one day. I could lose myself for days!

On another note, thanks for putting the time into your forum. I have serviced a few reels using it now. I did my saltist LD recently and it is better than what it was out of the box. I have applied your theories on bearings to all my servicing; it works a treat.
