My wife and I went and had a great time. 2farNorth loaned me a setup to sell a few frags of coral from my DT. Never done that before and I really enjoyed it. You get to see everyone at least a couple of times when you are at a table :)

The drive up reminded me that while I've been lamenting the late spring here in Vulcan (snow 80-90% gone), it's still winter up in Marquette. I was only 40 miles into the 100 mile trek when the roads were two narrow black tracks of pavement to drive on, the rest snow/slush covered. There's 3-4' snow banks along side the highway and no open ground anywhere. That being said I could not believe the turnout. I had no idea there were so many fellow reefers in the UP and N. Wisconsin.

Believe it or not....on my way to the swap I was side swiped by a Semi truck!! Wasn't enough to keep me from going though-lmao!!! An hour late though.
Had a wonderfully awesome time! A very successful event, with more attendance then was expected. We are already planning for next years! WOOT WOOT!!
Here's what I brought home. Thank you to <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: dbtech_usertag_mention -->

I also won a complete Reef Nutrition package. Finding out that Scooter the Dragonet LOVES the ArticPods!!

[2FarNorth]

I believe the swap was a great success! And it looks like it was the first 'annual' UP swap!

Thanks to all that made it!

The pink CC's and the alveopora will make a nice little scape with the kryptonite CC's I already had.

Thanks Jim's Reef for the nice corals. More pics to come.
