Hope all are having a good tryst at the Tavern! After our 3.5 hour journey to Atlanta and being plied by our host with yummy German honey liqeur, local stout and red wine (not to mention the excellent dinner fare), I don't think I'm going very far until Saturday. We'll see if we can't make the 1pm meet up at the STM tent Saturday!

Cheers,
Wesley

I can identify a few more for you, Jock:
Far right-Mattie, left of RR (tan coat)- Thomas H, kneeling-Turpin, Left of piper next to stately lassie-Frago, you noted Jim, the Scot behind,Frago to the right and to the left of Jim is David Pope, the fellow next to the ginger haired lassie I think is Beowulf67 but I may be mistaken and you noted Forrestmodern on the left with the cromach.

Excellent group shots, such a magnificent Xmarks rabble, thanks for sharing, and thanks for matching usernames to some of the faces.

I'm a stately lassie now Ern?

The drum major is AtlantaKiltie. The ginger-haired lassie is Beowulf's daughter. You got everyone else and the two I can't identify are the two I didn't meet.

The little warrior was a treat to watch and although I look like I'm grimacing in an early picture here, I'm actually trying to hold in a smile while watching him try to draw his sword out of his pull-over.

It was wonderful to be back at Stone Mountain this year and I enjoyed chatting up the x-markers at the meetup. If you were there on Sunday, you probably saw me bouncing along crowing to all and sundry about my winnings at the dance comp in the morning. Hopefully, my old bones will still be dancing next year and I'll get to see you all again.
