    A Couple More Scot Modern Red pics

    Okay, here's a couple more of the new 16 ounce strome lochcarron fabric sewn up by Kathy Lare.





    Was up on the edge of the Kaibeto Plateau at Little Cut.

    First pic looks west over at the Echo Cliffs and the Paria River Canyon where it joins the Colorado River.

    Bottom pic looks east out over the Navajo Reservation.

    It was windy up there and you can see a bit of the wind's action on the pleats.

    I do love the top of the line....and apparently so does my aging mother. Scott is her maternal clan. Wore it over to her care home today and when I explained the tartan to her she beamed.

    Hey Ron, more great pics, but how do you find the time to take them in such a scenic location? I have trouble finding time to balance the camera on my truck to snap a pic as I drive out and you always have one of the 7 wonders of the world as your backdrop. Your making me look bad bro!

    Hey KCW,

    Its easy when you live surrounded by scenic grandure. One of the reasons I chose to move up here after 30 years in Phoenix. So serene. So beautiful.

    Very nice pictures. How far away from Kathy are you? I'm planning on zipping up to see her the next time I'm in Phoenix for a meeting. I need to get measured by Kathy so She can get sewing. Mine is there, just not put together yet. O'Neille

    O'Neille,

    Umm, I'm about six hours from Albuquerque by way of shortcuts across the Rez.

    Its about the same drive from Phoenix, which is farther west than you are in Sierra Vista. You're probably better off going straight to Albuquerque from your own front door. Take I-10 then cut across at Lordsburg, through Silver City, to I-25 south of Truth or Consequences.

    Its a beautiful drive though and Albuquerque is a great city to visit. If you take your young one be sure to visit Sandia Peak via the Tram.

    When you go to get measured take some extra money. She often has a supply of kilt hose on hand. Pay and take it...a rare treat with kilt hose outside of highland games.
