Well the airport security issue wasn't unexpected, I always have trouble with "authority figures" and I actually expected worse so I wasn't too upset.

Yes, Glen, I did get up to Briadl Veil Falls for a picture but before we could take it the skies opened up with lightning, hail, and torential rain. At that point pictures were the last thing on our minds. I was somewhat suprised at how much of a non-event wearing a kilt was. I had a few people ask but not as many as I expected. One of the most surprising was when we went to Mesa Verde. I was wearing my black Utilikilt. The other tourists tried to ignore it but one of the Rangers asked about it and wondered if it was one of Howies' kilts. That was really curious to me that He would know about Howie but not Utilikilt I wanted to ask but he was intent on singing that goofy pop tune "The Scotsman". He did tell me that I was the fourth guy he'd seen that day wearing a kilt. He said he'd noticed that all of us were the first ones down the ladders and the last ones up! Maybe that's what made him want to sing the song to me. He told my wife and daughters that he was really jealous, the Park Service insists that he wear heavy wool uniform pants or he'd consider a kilt for himself.

Stay tuned, tomorrow is my day off and I hope to get a couple of pictures posted.
