And Again!


Brad, Bill, Bob, and Jim atop Twin Sisters

Yes, there was another hike for these guys. Brad and Jim were wanting to hike, so Bill and Bob helped them get equipped and showed them the "ropes" of hiking by taking on Twin Sisters. (No actual ropes needed, of course.) Bill said that they were stopping often to hear the two first-timers say, "Awesome!" and snap numerous pictures. They really didn't have the proper hiking footwear so there were some sore feet after the descent.

Later in the day we all (at one time or another) went over to the fairgrounds to see some of the activities of the highland festival. I enjoyed listening to the bagpipes and watching the drummers. They play with quite a lot of flourishes. After only a couple of pictures at the festival, my camera started going haywire. Since I've not been able to figure out the problem, I imagine that I'll get no more photos until I can get it fixed.
