Re: Roadtrip complete! (pics inside)

Thanks for the pictures from Joe's place. But what I'd be interested in seeing is his junk!

Weather can kill a swap meet. I set up a Fall Carlisle and last fall was the first time I had set up since '14. Both '15 and '16 were calling for solid rain or all but one day. I decided not to set-up for '15 but went to check it out the first day which was the when the rain started later in the day. In the area I set up none of my neighbors were there. Probably 1/3 the vendors were there and very few shoppers. Mostly vendors hanging out talking about how crappy it was. I'm glad I didn't bother setting up. The next year the report looked worse so I scheduled work and didn't even run up. I heard it was a wet washed out waste of time. Then this year had no rain and great weather straight on through.
