Scott:

Like the rest, I too am very impressed.

From a "second part" of the thread (http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f97/nhhg-2014-part-2-a-85728/):

"...Saturday? If so - 2:00 should be fine..." (CTBuchanan)

So Saturday at...

Dag-nabit, I did it again. Haste makes waste (or in my case waist) - Yes, I was thinking Saturday as that is the most visited day, so to speak.

Chris

In the last post (http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f97/nhhg-2014-a-85139/) many stated that the get together would be great. Now (like in years past) we need to determine when would be the best...

My wife heard about this on NPR (National Public Radio) this afternoon. Time for a dram in salute!!

The New Hampshire Highland Games are fast approaching (Sept 19-21, 2014) in Lincoln NH. Any interest in another meet up?? In the past, we have gathered at the Clan Buchanan tent, 'hosted' by...

He looks great Barb!!!! I am sure this is the first of many he will wear :p

Well, the weather held out until after the meetup. The rabble at the 2013 New Hampshire Highland Games.

Have watched the series many times, thanks to local PBS station (WMHT).

I have always thought this show represented X Marks (or X Marks represented the show) - some always wear kilts (Duncan);...

Also, have them read this:

I forgot to add, my wife will take pictures for people with their cameras if need be.

Also, as I am procrastinating on reading Barbs book (and a very good book too), I did some searching:

2010...

True - in looking at last year, Scout missed due to another (but tasty) event. So - 2PM it is!!! See everyone there!!!

Chris

NHHG just released the schedule (http://www.nhscot.org/2013-schedule-.html). Time to make the plans!!!

Chris

Works for me. I will be there (with kilt on, if you can believe that!).

Chris

Well, how does everyone feel about Saturday at 2PM (seems that is a 'standard' day/time) ???

Sorry if this a "repeat", anyone else planning to go to the games, weekend of 9/20-23/2013 (http://www.nhscot.org/)? Maybe CTBuchanan would be able / willing to host the X-Marks gathering, again...

Frank:

Weather (and work) permitting, I will be there too. Will stop by the tent to say "hey"

Chris

Geoff:

The lodging is like most 'resort' towns. Some "Mom & Pop" but mostly chain motels/hotels. My only suggestion, make the reservation early as possible as there is a NASCAR race the same...

Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel -sounds like a plan. Stinky and I will be there!!
