PostPosted: Jun 26, 2012 06:33    Post subject: The Gilsum Rock Swap  

A short post on the swap, not sure how much swapping went on, but the opportunity was there. This was the 48th annual swap, the weather was fine , not counting the thunder storm that came through Sat. afternoon. Rural setting and familiar faces make a relaxing environment to soak in.
