Off the topic--I think Hamish has a beautiful shot of his (California Tartan) while on the beach...

Thanks for the pictures! Retro Red, that pleat shot is making me eager for my next kilt---Robertson Hunting Ancient to the sett, I hope.

Sorry to miss the games but thankful for the report from those who attended.

Clan Gordon (famous for their vodka)

Here's a brave (or crazy) Scotsman wearing metal armor in the midday Phoenix sun!

If you saw someone wearing this in June, you'd call the suicide hotline!

My wife, Diane, & I along with the head of our local Clan Donnachaidh chapter, Phil Donnachie. The medals he's wearing he won in the Royal Army in WWII. He's got many interesting tales to tell.

Our "Phil in" at our clan booth...

Me, my better half, & my good friend & bandmate, Steve Miller (not that Steve Miller!)

My clan's namesake

A couple of shots of the Sonoran Scotmen representatives present. Ayin McFye is 3rd from the left, I'm 2nd from the right & on the far right (but not necessarily his political persuasion) is drobin

Riverkilt, me & Steve
I'm amazed at all the X-Markers that Riverkilt found. Besides Chris & Darren, Ron was only other X-Marker I recognized. Glad you made it down & back safely, Ron.

Riverkilt is a rather recognizable figure. That made it easy for us to find him.

I resemble that remark...but hey, I couldn't find Retro Red in the much smaller Flagstaff games when he had his full head of red hair...

Thanks for the parade pics Retro, we missed it wandering around the light rail construction looking for the way in one of the parking garages. And that is a great pleat shot of your new RRoS tartan kilt

Loosks like a good time - I wish I could have made the 8 hour drive, but it just didn't work out.

Thanks for all the photos guys!!!

Hey Now! If I would have known that there was a clan parade, then I would have been in that pic too! :butt:

Sheesh. I help out with taking the pictures and I get insulted...HRUMPH!

Very fun Games, and good photos everyone. Thanks River for the zoomed pic. I really liked the new layout in the park. Only thing missing was a beer in my hand. OH well... Wicked Tinkers CD or beer, Wicked CD or beer... Wicked

Great pics, great weather. Tried at last summer's festival here in Boston, but the rains never let up enough to clear the lens, and take pictures of all the Hefty Bag kilt covers.
