Look or smell for large parade field covered with oil and other dripping internal fluids. Just off centre of town, trust me, VERY well marked. My rover can get there by itself now. It tries to head to Loon Mtn but that's only the internal Scottish parts longing for the bagpipes.
I am still torn now that the Invasion and the Highland Games are the same weekend.
Not much call at the Invasion to toss caber. ( I'm still best in the clan though.)

Does this mean there is a Hadrians wall type area set up between these two gatherings? Ironic the scots call it a festival while the English still call it an invasion. We have a baby due in less than 2 weeks and will not make it up. I vow to get there someday. Enjoy!!

Typical British Invasion weather today. Rain, cold and raw Vermont. Forecast to be brilliantly sunny and crisp this weekend though!

Today's weather will make for interesting "traction" on the field tomorrow!

Any one still up for doing the Mt Mansfield toll road Thursday afternoon or Friday morning? If not I will be there with Green Mountain Rovers to enjoy the drinks and food Friday night. Please stop by out tent.

We are staying at the Seasons Pass Inn. on rt 100 in town. Cell is 603-620-7874 .I got here thursday 5 ish. I took a tour of the town, no another rover to be seen. Many MG and Jag abound. I stopped by the Golden Eagle to chat with a few of them , they are worried about mud .... I offered to tow one OAP's nice Jag onto the field through the mud .... He laughed and said " Any mud, and she is never leaving the trailer, even if we did come from Ottawa. I've lived 83 years so far, I can wait another year.)
We had a nice chat about rovers too. Seems he worked at the plant, and helped make a good amount of series 1's , and owned one he made off the line.... for 32 years. That's so cool.
Such a wealth of knowledge...

The Gods must be crazy...

Well , I don't quite know how to say this...........
I WON>>>>>>>>>>>>......
First place , Series trucks.......
And on my 40th b-day as well.
I suspect the wife paid off the judges. I could have been bowled over with a feather.... A small group of us were having a laugh at the winners and the decorum of the acceptance of all the awards. .... Then they called out , first place and my name and I almost wet myself. God in heaven, I could not have asked for a better b-day gift.
Cheers to you all , next round is on me.
