What started as a funny joke has turned into a quirky stop for hikers on the Tecumseh Trail. The Sock Barn, as it has now been dubbed, is an odd green building with a large sign attached to the side that says, “Take a rock, leave a sock.” The owners put up the sign in jest as a way to invite hikers to take a free geode. They didn’t think anyone would take it seriously – until socks appeared as folks took them up on their offer. Now, they’ve added a sign that reads, “Hikers! Please help yourself to a free geode!” Leaving a sock is optional, but plenty of good-humored visitors still leave a sock as a rite of passage. To experience the rock/sock swap yourself, head to Brown County’s Tecumseh Trail just off of State Road 46.

I really like the newest magazine. Is this a new format?
I didn’t get the earlier issue this year….February? We are in Florida then. I guess magazines are not forwarded. How do I read past issues digitally?
