Way to go bbink. You've made us all jealous. But we're still happy for your good fortune. Actually I need to stop buying gear for awhile. It costs too much to save money.

Please help me. The REI store in Atlanta is having their scratch and dent sale next weekend. We will be hiking in Virginia next weekend. G00SE is bitterly conflicted about this so in an attempt to ease his torment I uttered the fatal phrase, "What do we really need, anyway?".

I don't really expect any sympathy from any of you. Just a comfortable place to sleep tonight.

It was the Nashville REI.

I used it(the tent) saturday night at Savage Gulf in the pouring rain and it was just fine.

yeah the good stuff got scarfed early.

handlebar: get ther at least an hour before they open so you will be the first one there.

HINT: take someone with you, one go one way and the other go the other way....grab everything that you think you may want and then sort through it after you have hit all the bins of stuff. if you don't grab it, it won't be there when you come back around

I was just in town for the weekend. Randy told me about the sale, but I didnt realize how big it was till I got in there and saw that everything was gone. They didn't have anything else on sale except for the garage sell, so I walked out of there empty handed. However I did buy us some socks from Ski and Sports in the Opry Mills mall.

G00SE gets all the credit. He has some kind of sixth sense when it comes to KILLER bargains.

It'll come around again in six months. There are two REI stores in Atlanta and they usually have their sales 1 or 2 weeks apart. It would be cool to get to go to both of them next time around.

Our used gear sale is January 18th....plenty of time to recover from the Christams shopping. =)

Great deals Skully!!!! Buying gear at a huge discount is so much more satisfying than regular price gear.
