What a fantastic store - REI (Rt 10 East Hanover NJ) -a virtual hikers paradise. I was at their store today and enjoyed the experience. Taking a Hike is (alas) not sponsored by anyone, and we will be fair, reviewing other retailers along the way.
REI (www.rei.com) is a large well organized store with virtually anything needed by mountain bikers, hikers, skiers and all matters of outdoors. The associates are knowledgeable and friendly. Well worth the visit, especially for the harder to find and unique items. They also hold seminars in their store. Check them out and let them know Taking-a-Hike sent you (a cheap way of seeking a sponsor.. ha!)
