    Caber Series: Ben Lomond Highland Games

    That's a MacNaughton kilt I've got on! And no, I didn't *quite* turn it, it stalled at about 85 degress and toppled over. That's the "Lion" caber, 95 pounds and almost 18 feet long. It's the biggest stick I've ever attempted, and for me to get 85 degrees on it, at my stage in the game, is pretty good. I bet I'll turn the "Lion" next year.
