Direct swap with Georgia

Thank you very much Nikki! Yes, map cards are my absolute No.1.

 For blog visitors: the shadow on the Georgia map is not a scarecrow (like Nikki says it looks, and I agree), just  a fisherman in a straw hat. :-). Also just yesterday I received the Iowa map of the same series of cards. It can be seen in the Direct swap with Iowa post.
