    Mesa, Arizona 2007 Highland Games

    As requested by someone....



    Riverkilt, pbperson, Retro Red, and O'Neille

    I drove down from Page/Lake Powell, AZ and O'Neille drove up from Sierra Vista, AZ. Pdperson and Retro Red are Phoenix locals.

    I bought a bunch of t-shirts and a LOT of kilt pins...for some reason there seemed to be a fewer vendors this year. Place was packed though. Finally parked in the shopping center across the street.

    Great shot! Glad to see the AZ crew meeting up. Too bad you, Retro, and I all seemed to miss each other in Flagstaff last year.

    Looking sharp. I hope a good time was had by all.
    Everyone should go to a festival if they've never been, it can be a load of fun.

    Good photo of a happy kilted rabble. Great to see you wearing the RAF tartan Ron.
    It seems odd to be looking at Highland Games pics so early in the season; Scotland's games run from May till September; Gourock is usually first at the beginning of May; I used to take part in their running events when I was younger and lived in the west of Scotland.

    That is a great picture of the rabble! But, one stupid question..... Just what is that beast hanging from your waist Ron??? That looks like a brute of a sporran.
