    I will be there. Riding with a friend this year. Took a greyhound last year - that was a trip to remember. Not taking anything to sell this year - just bringing ca$h. Some friends have spaces on aj just east of the southeast food stand. I'm the crazy guy with the cosmic death ray solar food cooker - hope its sunny !

    Going to Iola for a day is like going to a movie and leaving after the previews for the next movie. It is a huge swap meet and show.

    Thank you---nice of you to say that. :)
    I begin my 900 mile trip north and east on Tuesday.
    I love being a part of the giant traveling carnival that brings a sleepy village like Iola to life each summer!

    Thursday is the best day of the swap. Swappers are set up and there are fewer people there to take advantage of deals. We hit it hard Thursday and Friday and don't even bother going to the swap on Saturday and roll out by noon.

    Usually take in the whole weekend...if my knees hold up.
    Those damned power chairs are getting too expensive to ride around all weekend!
    Will be 'mining' for parts for my 'B' banger project. Haven't had too much luck the past couple of years.

    Yeah, until you start inviting everybody to the party early, and all the "good stuff" is gone!!:)

    I've been hearing that Wednesday is actually the BEST day for gettting the good stuff. You can get it from the swapper that BROUGHT it, rather than the guy who got it cheap and moved it to his spot with a higher price!!!

    We'll be there Wed pm- Sat am....Got my 1st Scavengers meeting to get ready for!!
