Scenes from Grandfather Mountain

For the record, that Black shirt I'm wearing on Page 1 goes nearly to my knees, so when I took it off this is what remained

It was great to finally meet Rex. He is a true gentleman and was fun to spend time with. Not to mention a much better photographer than I am. But I'll post my pix when I get them up on photobucket.

Ah, and then there is Turpin, now not only a XMTS brother, but a McVillage brother! Proud to have ya as such, and hey, great job yet again on the Address. A pity no one took a photo of me on the hammock, I hear you were quite amused!

Talk to the lady what brung ye. If she didn't take one there must be a reason, my brother. I will definitely be there next year to prove up my Clan Craic membership.

Then again, if she does have one, she may not share....

Thanks for all the pics.
It makes me feel like I was their.
I hope to be able to make it next year.

Hello Rex, how are you.
Thanks for the great pictures
The more I hear about Grandfather Mountains
the more I want to visit.

Excellent photos Rex - I get a real feeling of being there. Thanks.

Regards

Chas

Thank you very much. It looks like a great event--large number of events and venues and very well attended. I've put it on my list...whenever I get to have a jaunt on the other coast...wait, you mean Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina...that's a little more feasible...

Thank you gentlemen for posting the wonderful photos!
Rex, I really loved the shot of the games nestled in the glen, surrounded by all of natures beauty! Wonderful!

I've always wished to attend Grandfather's Mtn, in part because some of my ancestors hail about 70 or so miles north of there. I hear that Clan Mackay will be holding its annual AGM there in 2 yrs time, hmmm .....perhaps I better start planning now!
