Throughout the year the Loon Mountain Resort runs shuttle vans and buses to Lincoln and other destinations for its guests. If we find they are not able to make a run for you to the train, I guess we will make arrangements for you.
The Friday night will be a motor car ride from the airport to the kilt night. On Saturday, before we leave Boston, I hope you and I can see some of the city from the M.B.T.A. trains, and trolleys. Piccies of course.

Alex, since you seem to be a train buff, don't forget to look into the cog railroad up Mt. Washington, which is not far from where you'll be.. It's a spectacular ride.

I agree, to get to The Cog, it would be a 45 minute ride from Loon but well worth the trip!

There is a link on the Lincoln's Chamber of Commerce website www.lincolnwoodstock.com/business/index.php for transportation at www.theshuttleconnection.com but I can't check it out from work.

My husband and I will be making the trip down from Vermont back to our home state for the games! His father and brother will be in attendance as well. We booked a condo for the family this year so they don't have to drive from Southern NH every day and we don't have to camp. We had some cold nights a few years back!

I will be there all three days at the Clan Buchanan Tent. We are Honored Clan this year as well as hosting the International AGM for our Clan for the first time in New England.

NHHG are my favorite games and there is always a good showing for the Clan Buchanan, but this year we are expecting a tremendous turnout.

Look forward to seeing or meeting other XMarkers there.

I hope that Clan Buchanan can beat out the 64 we had last year from the MacNeil tent! (Last year's honoured clan). I will definitely be by during the games to see you, and any other X team that can come.

There will be lots of Cunninghams there too for the worldwide gathering at Loon Mountain of Clan Cunningham International.

Yes I also have this one pencilled into my itinerary.

It looks like Alex chose the right time to come as the leaves on our deciduous trees are just starting to change colours. Be sure to bring your camera on the Gondola to the top of Loon, as Carrabasset Valley should be in full colour.

The MacNeil had a fine showing last year and I was very impressed with the singing and such from the Honored Clan Tent.

As we have sold out our Clan dinner on Saturday night at 119 people and I estimate another 200 or so in attendance at the games, I feel fairly confident we will make a good showing. To be honest, in a normal year we do a Clan picture on Saturday afternoon with about 50-60 people in it.

I know Steve C. has a good group coming for the Cunningham and we look forward to meeting our fellow Clansmen from the shores of Loch Lomond.

Seeing as there are going to be many of us at the games, how about a group picture?? Any takers? and if so, when, where etc???

[ctbuchanan]

A good idea. I'll be at our Clan tent all weekend. Just let me know and if I can be there I will.
