"SHOPPING IN SPARKS, NEVADA"

Even after driving over 400 miles the first day out from home, Rod and I managed to have some good times after our arrival in Sparks, NV.  You've already seen our Geocaching.  Now, it was time to go shopping, well at least looking before dinner at BJ's Brewing Company in Sparks.

Here are the highlights of our shopping/looking trip.

  2. Loved seeing your pictures. The Sculptures are FABULOUS! And, from what I can see, in answer to your question, we are seeing BLACK BEAR (of which some are BLONDE or CINNAMON). These look more like Grizlies with the hump on their backs. I would REALLY be scared if there were Grizlies wandering around my rig! Now...the important question is: WHAT DID YOU BUY????

    Debra ... I know you will find this hard to believe ... BUT, I DID NOT buy anything.

  4. tried typing in my AOL Screen name as instructed to post the previous - but - it still published me as ANONYMOUS. Will keep working on this... Okay --- I think it took my GMAIL username - which is an old nickname from my dad. Remember the old song, Zippadeedoodah?

  5. I have been in several Scheels sports stores but have NEVER seen the display you saw. WOW! Yes, they often have the sports statues outside and an aquarium inside and some mounted wildlife, but not all the other displays. You got a real treat...and it was free, which makes it even better!
