Aqua.. I went to that show EVERY year I was in NC. I was a member of the Piedmont group that met in Greensboro. I did much rockhounding.. I have a pile of garnets (IN THE REAL ROUGH) still somewhere in a pile in yard in my current home. Ihave lots of piles of rocks from various places...

Nearby where the show is in a national park is a HUGE natural water slide.. on a river , a fairly smooth water fall that you just sit down & scoot the hundred or so feet to the pool of water below...scary the first time down & OH SO COLD ~~ but lotsa fun.. ah so many memories of NC

Don't tell me you're a Rockhound too. :)
I haven't been to the Gemboree in a few years because I always wind up buying too much jewelry (and stones).

Didn't know about the natural water slide, do you know the name of the place?
