Subject: RE: BS: What are some pilgrimage sites in USA?
Anyone mention the Little Big Horn museum in western MT.?

A uniquely American site is Cabella's sporting goods main store in Sidney, Nebraska. You're driving west on I-80, over this utterly open dry prairie, and you come over a brow and there's this utter palace with lovely landscaped grounds, in essentially the middle of nowhere. And you go in and it's filled solid with high-class camping gear, fishing gear, outdoorsy clothing... and guns. About a quarter of the place is guns, cases, holsters, reloading equipment, and such. This should make most Europeans feel that they've found the real America. Though many of them might get nervous and want to go home.

Usual disclaimers.

Peter.
