RV ALASKA - Homeward Bound!

The day after Cliff and Diane left North Bend, an Army Corps of Engineers campground on the Virginia/North Carolina border, Alan and I poked around the rest of the park under mostly cloudy skies.  With steady rain in the forecast for the days ahead, we cut our losses and headed for home two days ahead of schedule.  The drive north was a wet one.  Even though the Cabela’s in Hamburg, Pennsylvania, was a favorite stop (whether we’re overnighting with the travel trailer or not), it was a pretty dreary evening.  Dumping our tanks in the rain the following morning didn’t do much to improve our spirits.  We are definitely not the material of which full-timers are made.  We were feeling a bit road weary, and we were both happy knowing that “Home” was plugged into the GPS as the destination of the day.

Cabela's - More than the "World's Foremost Outfitter"

Please note that these comments are based on my own opinion and our family’s experience with Cabela’s.  I’m not affiliated with Cabela’s in any way and I’m not receiving any compensation from Cabela’s for this post.  Alan and I are huge fans of companies that strive for excellence in customer service and, in our opinion, Cabela’s is one of them.

Cabela’s, which bills itself as the “World’s Foremost Outfitter” is a specialty retailer of outdoor recreation gear, clothing and other merchandise.  Last year, Cabela’s was purchased by Bass Pro Shops for approximately $4 billion dollars.  Both retailers began their solid and lengthy histories as small family businesses – Cabela’s, I understand, in 1961 and Bass Pro Shops in 1971.  As of now, Bass Pro Shops seems committed to carrying on the Cabela’s name and lines and I hope that will remain true.  Aside from wandering through a few Bass Pro Shops, I’m not really familiar with the company.  I am, however, familiar with Cabela’s and, although I knew the company was friendly to RVers, it wasn’t until this past year that I realized just what that meant.
