Well done Lad! I too have found MT to be kilt friendly. I have family about 1 1/2 hours west of Billings and during my annual visits have found that even the confused are still friendly when I am kilted.

I have been to the reinactment that you mentioned, it is (or was) just west of the National Park, I thought it was a nice event where they balanced modern patriotism for the US with respect for the historical events which may not have been our finest hour.

Cheers,

Marshal Moroni
