    How Could I Resist?



    I'm an old drunk. Alcoholics Anonymous saved my life. In AA local groups have annual roundups, campouts, etc.

    For the past 13 years the AAs down on the Hopi Reservation have had a "Freedom in Sobriety" campout at Five Houses near Polacca, AZ.

    This direction sign was at the turnoff from Hwy 264 onto the dirt road that lead to the campout location.

    If kilts aren't freedom in sobriety, I don't know what is.

    That's my USA Kilts Douglas Modern casual with the AmeriKilts belt, SWK Nightstalker sporran and SportKilt sox.



    The second picture shows the remains of one of the "Five Houses." That's Second Mesa in the background. Gives you a better feel for Hopiland if you've never been there.

    Thumbs up

    Looks good Ron.

    I don't drink either. Nothing good ever comes of it.

    Very nice picture, I drink but I think I'm one of those guys who can have a six pack in his fridge for a year and still have two left over. Now if I could just get over pretty ladies and kilts I'd be a free man. O'Neille

    Good deal. I unfortunately am NOT that type of bloke. All or none for me. I've chosen none.

    Yep, if I could give up kilts and ice cream I'd be set! ha!

    Bob,

    Try right clicking on the red X and then clicking on show picture. If your firewall has them blocked you can try my galleries below...but it'll probably block them too.

    Sorry, I can't control other folks firewalls...at least that's what the techies tell me.

    About firewalls, I use Nortons and I simply disable it, reload the page and enable it after the page re-loads.

    Hey....you know.....you are always talking about drinking and talking about being on a binge and looking at the empties.....I didn't know you had given it up.

    Doggone it.....we need to get together and have some iced tea!

    Let me know the next time you are in Flagstaff and have some time. It's just down the road from here, you know......well UP the road in the mountains (DUH!). :rolleyes:

    By the way, I really LOVE the sign!


    Phil
