    Yes, it is pictures like these that make me think that the life of professional highland games may not be the life for me. Seriously though, if the camera paned up a few more feet, would we see electric or phone cables?

    Great picture!

    I pulled a muscle just looking at that pic. It's a cool sport, but I think in the iterests of keeping my insides on the inside I'll stick to darts and air hockey.

    It was so long it didn't all fit in the picture!

    Nice looking venue, too.

    Yep, we had a challenge caber first--so after flipping that, I got the 'pleasure' of taking on this monster! There's another 2 feet in length that didn't fit in the frame ;-)

    Some will look at this at KNOW we're crazy. Those that look at it, grin, grit their teeth and think, "I'd turn that big boy"--they are Highland Athletes LOL.

    I have too much fun than I should be allowed to have.
