Kilted and Honored in Hippie Land
About 25 miles up into Utah from where I camp is Paria Outpost BBQ. Sits in the beautiful Paria River canyon.
Its owned by an old hippie, still Rainbow Family, couple who serve all you can eat BBQ on Friday and Saturday nights. Local musicians are invited to play for the diners in exchange for a free meal.
The owners, and many of us addicted-to-BBQ customers show up in tie die shirts.
After a day on the river yesterday I showed up with my lady wearing a tie die shirt and my caramel UK workman's and Teva sandals.
The lady singer for her supper does humourous, fun songs like, "I've seen your aura and its ugly."
She saw me kilted and dedicated a song to the kilted, tie-died, old hippie in the audience.
Then she sang the song about the drunken kilted Scot who passes out on the street and is found by the two young ladies who decide to answer the ancient question and are so impressed they leave him with a blue ribbon.
All done in fun and friendship and a wonderful salute to kilts
