Well, I was going to take her to the Renaissance Festival this weekend, but no one (meaning Livingston!) got back with me on that. Maybe she can spend a little more time with the Renaissance Scots at the Colorado Scottish Festival and Highland Games. We are hosting the 10th Anniversary Masters World Championships in Scottish athletics, the first time it’s ever been held in Denver, so that will be something special for the wee airship to see. Just a thought...

Oh... and Livingston... are you ever going to post pictures?

***EDIT*** There seems to be some confusion over this post. I do not have the Saltire. Livingston does. Just to make that clear!

Aha! I didn't know who had it...should've checked here first, I suppose. Is she headed your way for the weekend? I'm going "various scenic places at altitude, kilted, overnight, with bagpipes" this weekend and through Tuesday, if the Saltire would like to catch a ride and isn't otherwise spoken for!

Not this weekend. She's still with Livingston.

Where is the Wee Saltire, she has been M.I.A. for weeks now. Some of us are really missing her. Please, people, have a look for her in case she escaped her last keeper and went flying off into the wild blue yonder by herself.

Sorry about the delays in posting pics but with recovery and cleaning up of pictures along with other things going on it's just taken me way too long. That being said, one week from today the wee airship will be taking flight for her next port of call.....somewhere ... on this planet.

So, here we go.

We took a drive up to Rocky Mountain National Park when my daughter and her family came out to visit the weekend of the 4th of July. Here the Saltire is getting a good look at Chasm Falls on Old Fall River Road. The road is the original road over the pass between Estes Park and Grank Lake, Colorado.

My granddaughter Natalie is giving the wee airship a view down the Fall River valley back towards Estes Park.

Here Nicole is showing the Saltire the view up the mountain. At this point we are not yet half way up. For reference, the top is about 10,500 ft and we started out at about 7300 ft.
