The June 2005 McRocks' Cookout and Rockswap at the Bear Den Campground near Spruce Pine, North Carolina was a fantastic affair. There was plenty of excellent food for all and many rocks and minerals were given away or traded with enthusiasm. I'll let the following pictures tell the story of the great day.
