Kinloch, are you going to Grandfather this year? OK, leaving the subject of games at Clover SC this weekend & moving to the subject of Grandfather Mt. next month (less anyone show up at the wrong place this weekend) ... Last year, Grandfather Mt. started having games on Friday. I heard it went well. This year, they again seem to be having games on Friday, this time until 2:30 PM. On http://www.grandfathergames.com/schedule.htm one can see the "schedule" from Thursday thru Sunday. On that page, one link says: "Friday, July 7 9:00AM Friday Games! - MacRae Meadows Friday Games are completed by 2:30pm" If your computer is slow (like my 100 MHz computer), you might want to explore the site by using my links under #5 on http://genealogy.org/~green/Scot/grandf.html duplicated at: http://members.fortunecity.com/marbanks/Scot/grandf.html Their top page has music which seems to lock up my computer. I reported it to them last night, but would not expect the webmaster to remove music just because of a few slow computers browsing the web. I would be curious if their page locks up any of your computers. Go to my site above to explore their site. I think their might be the best site on the Grandfather Mt. Games. I wish I could go, but the camping money has to be in by June 15 which is a week from today. Adult tickets are $40 plus camping is $20/night for a 2 man tent & one would need to be there by Thursday night at the latest in my opinion. To not camp at the games is logistically unthinkable to me as well as greatly diminishing the enjoyment of the festival. In other words, that is what I recommend to you all. They now have hot water in the showers I am told. The clan needs someone to represent us in the Bear. Who is doing the Bear at 7 PM Thursday 6 July, see the schedule on the web (url above)? :-) We have the burning cross at dusk Thursday. Who will be at that for the clan? Perhaps we should make a web page showing who is arriving when so you all that go, can start looking for each other. There is usually a white erasable magic marker board in camping whereon people announce their presence in the campground to the rest of their party which has not arrived. I think the staff in camping have named the streets or designated areas. I should fill out a "request" on the web for an answer to that question. One should take something to make their camp stand out like a flag & tell the list what their tent or RV looks like to help one find each other among the thousands of campers at the games. If not camping, saying where you are might bring your clansmen to your lodge for a visit. Since I am talking about visiting, I guess I have to say that I mean "clansmen" to mean people -- mankind -- both kinds of men, plain men & women. Should we use he-men & wo-men to designate the 2 kinds of men? :-) I am tending to run on, so I close. -- James W.
