Vulcan Traveling Gavel, part II
This is the continuation of the Vulcan Traveling Gavel starting with it's journey to stop #76.
In May 2010; from Walnut, Kansas; the gavel was shipped to England. Due to problems associated with the cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland which closed most of the airports in the UK, the shipment of the gavel from Walnut to England was slowed down.
