Our friend Dale has found so many Schrades in the land of milk and honey that the 5th wheel is hitched up and we're heading west in the morning.
Since I've done a lot of personal research on the mountain men and trappers of the 1803 - 1840 era,I really envy their seeing the mountains as it was back then.We've been in Wyoming,Montana,Idaho,and Colorado several times,but Dale says the Schrade Grand Cache is in Oregon and Washington.
I don't expect problems from the Sioux,Cheyenne,or Arapahoe;but the price of diesel ($3.15 here and climbing) and the high temperatures in the plains does make me wonder how far my SCHRADE $$ stash will take me.
It's a shame we don't have access to Schrade shipments to distributors.That would make it a little easier.
Another drawback is not being able to get on the forum every day.:thumbdn: :(
Hate to think how much info and discussion I'm going to miss.
You guys have a good couple months and I'll try to catch up in October.:D

No you have to go to the pawn shop after the Chicken Ranch.Worked 6 years in the gold mines around Elko,NV.Fun place.Arnold
 
Ron, Internet Coffee shops are a reasonably priced way to stay in touch, and you can let us know how you are doing!!
Charlie
 
Have fun, and be safe, Ron

Glenn
 
BTW Ron, if you get up to Vancouver (20 minutes from Washington's northern border) drop me an email, and we can meet and talk knives!
 
Ron,
Be sure & look me up when you get out here. I am emailing you my phone number.

Dale
 
Use safe protection in those ranches out there ;). As for Schrades, I've seen a lot up in the mountains along the Rte 30 corridor in central PA, between Chambersburg and Lancaster. And, oh yeah, don't check out ANY of the ranches on that stretch...
 
Thanks for the tips,guys!
Haven't been on the forum since we left.Most of these RV campgrounds now offer only Wi-Fi and haven't a jack to plug in your laptop.
Found some excellent Schrades in Chadron,NE,but they belong to a friend. I think his forum name is Crow Butte,but I haven't seen any posts from him.
C'mon Max,stop lurking and share your Schrades.
Will be in Oregon tomorrow. Have to see if Dale missed some Schrades.
Diesel is $3.50 in Idaho - cheapest was Indiana at $2.97.Starting to cut into my Schrade $$$.
TTYL,
Ron
 
Sell some Bucks, Gerbers and "Spydies"! You'll make it! I hope you have a camera. We won't believe you went til we see pics of you and the trunk full of Schrades!

I got a phone call from Ron tonight. He is doing well and expects to be here in the Willamette Valley in a few days. I haven't told him yet, but I am planning to take him to an old store that still has a bunch of Schrades New-in-Box! :D

We will report back later.

Dale
 
Good luck man I just came back from a trip....goin on another one here soon. HAVE fun and live it up.

Dale,
I hope you have another location other than the "honey hole" you directed me to today!:thumbup: :D
Lots of folders in several models!
Came out of there with 3 8OT's in the tan/black boxes !!
See you in the morning!!
Ron
 
Well,
I am pretty sure we can find a couple 36OT's and a couple others. I know another store that has a 296OTY (I think it is). They were there today.
Beyond that we will have to look. Those are the only ones I have "staked out." :D :D

See you in the morning,
Dale

PS- Did you break down and pop for a WI-FI? How did you get online?

Hello Everyone,
First post for me. Been lurking for awhile now. Had one awful time getting my Schrades back from Ron when he was done looking at them. Sure was good to see him again. Met him on Ebay when I found him outbidding me on way too many things:D . I wish all of you could met him. He's the salt of the earth.:thumbup:
 
Hi CB,
Welcome to the Schrade Forum! :thumbup:
My wife & I went out to dinner with Ron & his wife tonight. We had a great time and a nice visit. You are right CB, Ron & Carol really are salt-of-the-earth folks.

One thing you have to watch about Ron, he is sneaky. I had invited them out to dinner, and had fully intended to pay. Sneaky Ron, paid the ticket while my back was turned!

We had a great visit & Ron's wife & my wife really hit it off. A great time was had by all. They are great folks.:thumbup:
