    Xmarkers at the Pacific NW Games

    Well, it took quite a while, but my computer is FINALLY up and running.

    Here are a few shots from the Pacific Northwest Highland Games last month.

    For the first time in years, it was actually rainy.

    First, here's Bikercelt1, myself and Oldhiker outside the beergarden



    A few shots of the Wicked Tinkers:





    And here they are doing a great rendition of Caber Feidh with Tempest



    Bikercelt1 and Oldhiker, it was great meeting you both!

    yes the Tinkers are great, I think I have seen them 7 or 8 times. They always add something new to their shows, great entertainers.
