I've an idea that is along the same lines. I've been wanting to do some type of a kilt hike event, but I'm too far away to join you all. How about we declare a day in the fall as "kilt hike day". This way kilties all over the world can hike some where, and then we can all compare our notes, and share our war stories here. There seem to be enough members here that we could have simultanious hikes in different regions. If we hold it in November Andrew might even be back from his journey. I know I'd be honored to spend a day on the train with him.
