Not have a table or back of my car open. Already got a heads up on what to bring for potential swaps. wigglinrocks hops to be there. Maybo Billy. NDK are you in? Anyone else close to Central WI that I do not know? Should be a fun time.

wigglinrocks A pleasure to meet you and your wife. FYI everyone. They live about 30 miles from where I used to live. Small world. NDK Thanks for bringing the flat lap on your bike. I had a great time being with such talented and knowledgeable people. Did not plan on staying at the rock swap for 4 hours, but did.

I was too busy looking at rocks and talking that I forgot to take many photos. This shows about 80% of the swap area. What was nice is that there was plenty of parking in the rows all around the swap. Some offerings by a rock club officer. The upper left portion shows some of the ID charts he made. Collected all of the rocks, photographed them and made the charts. Two of them are devoted to Lake Superior rocks. He has them in sizes from post card to 11 x 17. Has laminated some. A nice piece of A pet wood. wigglinrocks Rich's wife would not let him take this 180 lb piece home. It was only $725.00. One side of the same booth. The pet wood at the front was much more manageable to lift and cost less. Note the elk horns. I did not see what they were priced. That was it for the photos I took.
