Either way , I hope you have fun.

I get nervous about making announcements because there is a little tinge of paranoia of "what if's" but I think it's safe to announce that my clan has a recognized special guest for this. His name is Gerald MacKinnon.

We are all very excited. Are their any MacKinnon's on here that will be making an appearance?

You need marshmallows for roasting them over an open campfire. However, I would caution that you buy some Hershey Chocolate Bars and a box of Graham Crackers so that you can make some S'mores.

Dang, I wish I was camping now. Next year I will.

Woot! Ah I've never heard of marshmallows for a friendly fight... pity one of the adults supposed to watch us didn't make the suggestion. When I was a teenager and went camping with the boys (about 15-20 teenage boys - I was in Civil Air Patrol) we used apples and clumps of mud to throw at each other.

Funny thing about that war, you can't evenfind a marshmellow on the ground Sunday am!
I'll be heading out Thurs. 6:00am. They say I can't check in untill 12:00 that will give us time to stop and smell the dandilions on the way up. You can find me in the camp by looking for my Douglass marker.

Can't you almost smell the anticipation? We'll see you all in just a few days in North Carolina! As time permits, I'll try to slicker my way through the hords of tartans to catch the tents, bands and events. Unfortunately or fortunately, I have to work at this thing... but I'm sure there will be time to tip a few!

Well, then, I will make every effort to be among you Saturday at 10. Hope to meet the lot of you. ("Lot" is the correct word for a group of kilted people, right?)

Most Games, I'm with the pipers and drummers all day, but this time I'm on my own. Except for my daughter the swing tenor who really wants to see the swing tenors compete. Hope there's a break from that at 10 ...
