    Grandfather Mountain ala Google

    Since JollyStNick has been lamenting the loss of his camera, along with all his Grandfather Mountain Games pics, I thought I'd just do a Google image search for "Grandfather Mountain Highland Games" and see what came up. Not all are from this year, of course.

    Here's just a sampling of some of the great pictures I found.


















    And just for fun, I'll end with this vintage find from 1961.


    Enjoy!

    That first one was my fav, too. I think it rather appropriate that the young man in the kilt is about to slam dunk the man in shorts! Kilt power!
