It is that time of year again: outdoor and sportsman shows. The Dallas Safari Club International show kicks off the season and is where we started our RV adventures last year.<\/p>\n

We pulled into downtown Dallas with little trouble but a lot of \u201cwhite knuckling\u201d as we navigated the city. Whew! John doesn\u2019t want to do that again anytime soon!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

EuroOptic<\/a> has a strong presence at the show and since we were in the area we stopped by to help setup and John worked the show for a few days.<\/p>\n

The guys moved the cabinets into place, built the structures and then secured them on top of the cabinets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next they hung the banners and put up the spot lights.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Out came the literature, the scopes and binoculars, and finally the firearms. Voil\u00e0! Let the show begin!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here the \u201cboys\u201d are, hard at work making sales and the show hasn\u2019t even started yet. EuroOptic<\/a> carries nothing but the best and the customer\u2019s know it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We left the show early to head to Quartzite Arizona where we have friends waiting for our arrival. It was sad to say good-bye again to our \u201cEuroOptic family\u201d but we know we will see them again soon.<\/p>\n

For now, it is off to the desert for some rest and relaxation, before the next whirlwind adventure weeps us up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
