    Zion Kilted

    Just home from a belated Birthday Weekend roaming around Zion with my lady. We explored Grafton, Utah a ghost town along the Virgin River where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was filmed.

    Wore my Macdonald of the Isles Weathered Hunting, a 16 ounce Lochcarron Strome hand sewn by Kathy Lare of Kathy's Kilts in Albuquerque. Sporran is the brown leather Nightstalker from Stillwater Kilts. Lewis kilt hose and traditional garter ties from Scottish Tartans Museum. Boots are Z Coil Hikers.



    This is the door of the schoolhouse from the bike riding scene in the movie.



    Here's another shot at the backdoor of an old house in Grafton.



    Here's a pleat shot in the doorway of an old building at Grafton.



    And one last shot at Zion Mountain Ranch where we stayed. Wearing a jean jacket in lieu of a sporran.

    Driving home this morning my lady said that this kilt is her "second favorite" after the Isle of Skye.

    Looking really superb Ron, the weathered MacDonald tones in so well with the hose. You certainly know how to find the exotic locations as backdrops for your pics!

    You drove home in THAT?!! How romantic, Ron!

    Superb photos - I've never seen "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". Don't know why, I guess our paths have never crossed! Anyway, I have to agree with your lady ............. but wait! Imagine what an Isle of Skye weathered would be like. Now there's a thought!

    Take care,
    Ham.
