Howdy from the rural part of Minnesota!

Found this forum after making two purchases already off the Firearms for sale forum...its been a good week for Glock sales on here! :)

Dyed in the wool northerly outdoors person, not someone that tolerates metropolitan noises and irks. Grew up here, moved back here and love it, with the exception of the 15,000 new people that moved in here whilst I was gone. ;)

Hobbies include: guns, firearms, pistols, rifles, archery, camping, reloading, canoeing, hiking, and long 250 mi drives in the country that seek out unexplored logging trails. I walked in and volunteered for Nam, missed the cutoff and instead, went to Antarctica. It was okay, but there are too many people down there already, you have to work to find a quiet spot for a picnic!! The far side of Erebus is good! (for those of you that dont know, Erebus is a live but mostly inactive volcano near McMurdo)

Pleasure to find a site with mostly Minnesotan's selling to mostly Minnesotan's! Thanks for making the site available!!

Welcome from Shakopee and thank you for your service. :salute: :flag:
We haven't figured out where we're going to be camping but we might get up in that general direction.

Welcome, from Mankato. I moved outta the cities a little more than ten years ago to a town of 500 in southern Minnesota, so now that I'm in Mankato I feel all "big city" again. But I loved the small town existence. Just got costly to commute. :)

Good to meet all of you fellow "sotan's!"

There are still some bars in Merrifield, one is the Half Moon saloon, right on the corner where the yellow semiphore is flashing overhead where Cty Rd 3 and 4 split. And then, in downtown Merrifield, there is a bar too. I quit drinking (a long time ago, and its a good thing I did) so I dont cavort in those places but they both do a good bit of business from what they tell me.
