Just went to EMS in Burlington at lunch, asked if I could get the 20%, and they said sure. Didn't have to show my GMC card or anything. Picked up a pair of their Apollo gloves. Softshell gloves with a leather palm. Nice and lite, no insulation (my hands always overheat), and the leather palms should withstand use with x/c poles.
I bought the marmot eiger 36 daypack for $80, freedom of the hills, GG compression sack and other stuff. Gotta spend more before my wife comes home from Atlanta tomorrow!.. going to ask a question on the gear site about packs.
Just bought a new daypack today. Gregory Advent Pro, $139, minus 20%. No membership in a club needed. Just this weekend, and then it most likely won't happen again.
HOW ABOUT THOSE SOX!! (COWBOY UP) CURT SCHILLING FOR PREZ!
