Well, that's good to hear! Everyone looks well turned out. Tobus, Jack, Shaun...very smart indeed.

Cheers,

Let me start with; It is all my fault. The chap in the middle holding the xmark sign is John, not Joe. Also know as FW_Kilt. I'm sorry John. I had a brain fart.

I'm the only one coverless in the photo; and, I'm probably the only suffering from a head cold. I'm not really keen on caps/hats, but even for a day or two out each year, I should have me a proper cover, I suppose. Robert Mackie hunting.

Great pic. Its always good to see xmarkers meeting up and to be able to put some faces to the usernames.

I wonder what happened to Fat Man's Larder. They were regular trad food vendors at Salado.

Nice pictures all. My favorite is the one that you posted taken in front of the pagoda. Everyone looks so sharp. Thanks.

Steve; the Fatman told me a couple years ago that if he didn't get a better return he wouldn't be back. Obviously, he is a man of his word.

Oh, and yes, I'm cleverly hiding a cup of ale in my hands!

(For some strange reason I don't have a button to edit my previous post, so I had to say that as a reply.)

You dapper gentlemen look like a gaggle of Scots anxiously, but patiently, waiting for the distiller to crack a butt of single malt. Good show! Texans know how to do things right.

I am, however, a bit disappointed. Without even actively formulating the thought, I tacitly assumed that plastic cup was for the dram. Drat!

Incidentally and FWIW, this sentence is the direct result of my post actually having an "Edit Post" option. Slainte!
