Three, the one with the dugouts was the one further from the two side by side.

It was the one between the two major vendor tents and just south of the main stage.

Oy! That explains everthing. Sorry I missed you guys.

Well, anyway, I had a great time. But, the scotch-tasting was a bit of a disappointment. Instead of 3 hours of tasting, singing and toasting with the Glenfiddich distributor, we got a sobering one hour of stale toasts from a different whisky distributor who always had an eye on the clock and finished early.

I found out over the weekend that Glenfiddich pulled their sponsership of the games too late to get anyone that knew anything there. The people that were running the beer/Scotch concessions had to do everything on their own dime and were very upset. Look for a new sponser next year.

Good, because anything will be better than what we got this year.

Does that mean that you'll be back next year?

Because, I missed the whole thing this year, due to a sick family.

And I like the rain and cold.

I don't know, yet. I may pass next year to get a confirmation of a much better scotch-tasting. I'm limited in my vacation travels for Highland games and fests. I went to the Clanjamfry in Memphis this year by accident and may want to do a clan tent for MacIntyre next year, but I'm still thinking about this. Also, I have not been to Stone Mtn, which is another possibility.

I figure that I will return to Estes Park before too much longer. It is quite fun.
