Expensive Place Why…read morein the world would I come here ?? Well .. because I have camping and survival on the brain. There are so many things you can get here.. including the fan favorite....a camping toilet. Everybody needs to have a camping toilet. Honestly? There was so much to look at I was just staring at everything for hours trying to make sense of it all. Of course... there is all the stuff you THINK you need for camping... and then there is all the stuff you dont need for camping. I'm more on the glamping side of things...but I'm trying to doing everything "legit".

I wasn't the only one here - a camper trailer, another Sprinter and a Class A were also here. It's way in the back of the shopping center so it was quiet despite being next to the Interstate. Hooray for Bass Pro and their support of RVers. While I didn't shop at the store today, it's this sort of thing that puts Bass Pro at the top of my list for camping gear or stuff I need for the RV. Two Gainesville PD were here chatting when I arrived. I have no idea if they patrol regularly. [Review 19894 overall - 1696 in Florida - 867 of 2023.]

Thank goodness there is YouTube to fill in all the blanks. From what I have learned I am NOT in a good position to understand or go camping on my own. I don't know how to make a fire, cook over a firepit, pitch a tent or brush my teeth in the woods. There are all very interesting dilemmas to me which need to be resolved. maybe not I'm designed to live "off the grid" so to speak,,, however.. if all the power goes out for an entire neighborhood.. I want to at least be ready ... ;-

Had a great time kayaking with Lars, yes like Mars but with an L…read more I was apprehensive at first as to how it was going to go since I have a very limited experience with kayaking. A few times in the past two decades with a few friends who knew what they were doing. It was going to be 4 hours or so on the river. The weather was beautiful and it was so wonderful to soak in all the greens surrounding us. Quite a few herons, osprey, and some kind of warbler. Very nice distance to drive from Gainesville and everyone in there kayak trip today was from Gainesville and they were all very nice. The drive to kayak destination and back in itself was a nice trip with change of scenery and getting out of town on a weekend to avoid the hussles and bussles of every weekend stuff with groceries and errands. Some people saw some alligators and were trying to point them out hiding but we didn't see any on the same trip! We are told that they don't bother people much in general:) When I expreeesed the concern about not being able to keep up with all other kayakers, my husband said that he would leave me behind and if an alligator has not gotten to me on the way back, he will bring me back home if I fall behind. Yes, he is the perfect picture of support!!!! Lars is very laid back and knowledgeable and easy to talk to and we learned a lot during this trip and would love to come back for more. It was such a fun great nature trip!!!!!

I have always been treated well here, and I am glad it is right on the 6th St bike path, because it is on my way.

If they had asked, I would've told them I had a pump at home, and am perfectly capable of using it. Obviously it was a relatively minor infarction ($10-$15), but I'm a 21 yo woman, already fairly apprehensive of going to a repair shop on my own. I was let down. Not sure what bike repair etiquette is, but performing a service without asking the customer and then charging them for it seems pretty inappropriate to me, no matter the SOP. My bike is fixed though, so that's nice.
