    Leatherneck Tartan in Ghost Town

    Made a "cheese run" out across the Arizona Strip today with a ladyfriend. Looped back through the ghost town of Grafton, Utah where parts of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were filmed. Got a pic on the porch of the house where Katherine Ross lived in the movie...and the back of an out building. Grafton is at the south entrance of Zion NP and drove on through Zion to get home. Stopped for a last light pic at the east entrance/exit.







    Tartan is 13 ounce Leatherneck from Strathmore Mills hand sewn by Kathy Lare.

    Gotta love the comfort of kilts for an 8 hour road trip through the canyonlands!

    Great shots. . .You keep reminding me (even though this was Utah) of all the time I spent in various intelligence officer courses at FT Huachuca, AZ. I grew to really love the desert country, and it's a great place for kilts.

    Semper Fi!!

    Cool!
    The desert is beautiful Ron, and your pics illustrate how your kilt just blends so wonderfully well with the natural colours/enviroment.
