    The X Marks members I've met!

    It was suggested in an earlier thread I start a photo thread of the X Marks members I've met, so I thought it would be a fun idea! So to start, this last weekend at the Colorado Scottish Festival and Highland Games, I met Dale Seago and Greg, otherwise known to the board as Mule. Here I are with Dale and his father (who by the way is a proud veteran of the Marine corp! It's always an honor to meet a veteran.)



    And Mule!



    By this point in my day, I was exhausted... you'll have to pardon the half hearted smile.

    I forget what this guy's name is here...



    First time I met this guy, I had the urge to pull my sgain and rescue him from the animal mauling his crotch!



    There are more to come!! I've met a lot of these blokes!

    Grest pics, looking forward to viewing some more.
    I have been privileged to many x-markers since I joined this forum, besides meeting European based members closer to home I have met many from overseas while they were visiting Scotland, and North American based xmarkers have made me very welcome and shown me around lots of interesting places when I have visited Canada and USA. I hope to meet you some day Nighthawk, the Durango and Silverton Railroad and the Cumbres and Toltec are both on my wish list of still to do's.

    Me too! Have met lots of X Marks guys at the various Arizona Highland Games and a few have even visited my little town. Its so cool to have TWO kilties on the streets of Page, Arizona or floating down Glen Canyon.

    When you make it here, I'll be sure to show you around!

    Ron- I'll add you to this one of these days, too. I have several new pics to post here... I just haven't uploaded them yet. I just got finished getting settled back in after my trip to the festival in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

    Forgot to say this, we both looked a bit haggard my friend... Allergies were killing me, I could hardly see and you had been there for two days... No worries.
    Keep em coming.

    Thanks for these photos guys, it's good to be able to put names to faces.

    BTW Mule, where did you get the Australian Football League "Hawks Supporters" top from? Good to see you go for a real game of football
