Let me first say Thank you for your service to this county! And welcome to the forum from Long Island, New York! I'm a newbie here as well, but been smoking for some time. Enjoy it and there's so much info and forum sections to read!!
Cool, I'm probably in your neighborhood! I'm about 5 minutes from Cabelas, and that's my easiest place to take my baby to walk around when the weather is too bad to play outside. I say baby, but she's a toddler now, and loves running around the deer/elk cave.
