Redneck Disneyland

Kevin and I recently had an adventure to Bass Pro Shop.  Neither of us had ever been there and I've been hearing a great deal about it; mainly that it was the most incredible sporting good store ever.  It is to Kevin what DSW is to me, just to give you a little perspective.  So we went and wandered around.  This place is truly a Redneck Disneyland (basically a more realistic Frontierland).  There is a shooting gallery, a HUGE fish tank full of the ugliest fish I've ever seen, mountain goats climbing rocks around the staircases, and all the clothes are divided up into categories of sport (fishing, duck hunting, large game hunting, etc.).  It was insane.  And I'm pretty sure there was everything a sporting-good enthusiast needs under one roof.  There is even a gift shop and general store where you can buy snacks and other food products.  You know, because it's so big you get hungry halfway through.

And the people-watching was worth the price of admission.  Wow.  Sometimes, stereotypes exist for a reason.  In the end, it was quite the adventure.  

 I'm pretty sure I saw people genuflect in the front before entering

 I'm an American Tradition since 1856.  I look pretty good for my age, then.

 So many shooting options
 Waterfalls and faux trees and live fish.
 Because what trip to Bass Pro Shop would be complete without a souvenir? They have everything you need to decorate your hunting cabin.
