McRocks Cookout & Rockswap 2008
Spruce Pine, North Carolina

This year's McRocks' rockswap and cookout took place at the Springmaid Mountain Resort near Spruce Pine. We found that the pavilion with its many tables, full outside deck, complete kitchen, on-site restrooms and ample parking is just about the perfect place to hold such a gathering. As you can clearly see in the pictures below, we enjoyed a terrific day with like-minded friends.

The perfect hostess!

Hopefully, we'll be able to do it again next year and just maybe the gas prices will go down enough so that more of our friends whom we sorely missed this time can afford to make the trip!
