Whidbey Island HG - 8/11/07

**Kilted_John** · 9th August 07, 10:08 PM

Anyone else planning on being there? I think I may take a day off from working on my car's head gasket replacement project and head on up there. Probably would be there around 11:30 or so. Most likely in the Armstrong shown in my avatar. Heck, might even wear the same outfit depicted, sans vest, and with boots.

Wish I could go, but I live to far away now. I lived in Everett for four years. I went to the 1st one they had on Whidbey and the three afterwards. I learned one thing for sure! DO NOT walk out the front doors of the ferry to the observation deck without anticipating wind gusts!

Small but fun, I participated in the massed bands. My MacGregor Kilt blended me in well with the MacGregor band out of Mount Vernon.

I'm dying to go to Kelso, one of my favorites.

I'll be there. Drop by and say Hi! at the combined Clan Muir / Clan Lamont clan tent.

I will be out of town

, maybe next year. I love the area. yes stop by the Muir/Lamont tent. Nice people there

Interesting story. Don is a Moore on his maternal side and a Lamb (Lamont) on his maternal side. I am just the opposite, maternal side is Moore and paternal side is Lamont. We had a good time in Enumclaw and Tacoma.

Guess I didn't make it myself. Awakened @ 9 am, and realized that I needed to do some stuff around the house. Did a dump run, cleaned out the garage a bit, etc... Alas, wasn't even doing the UK today, which I normally would do when I'm doing dirty work. So, it was a t-shirt and sh*rts day for me. Maybe I'll be able to do Kelso. At least, I hope. If not, there's always next year.

I discovered that problem last October when my wife and I were in the region. We took a ferry across to the penninsula and I thought it would be cool to check out the observation deck. That lasted all of 3.71 seconds.
