Wonderful shots!

That's X Marks own J Gorley among the athletes in the yellow hose. Nice shot of John Odden delivering the 26, and I think you got a shot of PNW Masters Champion, Brett Milton as well.

That is a great set of pictures, Terry. I just love Bellingham.

Yeah Alex, Old Hiker told me about meeting up with you
I told him we've got to coax you over to visit these games

I missed you cousin ...was hoping you'd be able to make it up so we could meet.

Yes Alex, we expect you to drop down to the US if you do make it over next year. It's a very easy drive, albeit the wrong side of the road. Do worry some of our drivers use your side also

It was great to finally meet Terry after several years and only living a few miles apart. Saturday was glorious weather and lots of people attending, Sunday was perfect kilt weather... cool & misty. The rain parted just in time for us to take down and pack the tents away then as we drove home the sky dumped more rain.

Terry you going to post our group photo?? did it break the camera?

Great pictures Terry, thanks for sharing. I was hoping to have an excuse to go down to the coast so I could nip down to your games, but alas it didn't happen...maybe next year.

Here's our 7 yr old, with his first try at the caber, he won a couple of medals for the kid's games, and we had a great time on Saturday.

note that while the overall pic is a little fuzzy the wife managed to get the rope in perfect focus, LOL, we were standing behind it watching intently and cheering the little guy on!!!

That's a fine addition to this thread, BCTrucker

I wish I'd known you were there. I think next year we need to organize an XMTS meet & greet over at the Muir/Lamont booth.
What say everyone?
