The gathering at the Alameda County Fairgrounds last weekend was great. Good people, good food, and the Heavy Athletic events (http://www.thescottishgames.com/usheavyevents.php) were exciting to watch. Saw a professional clear a height of 20 feet with a 56-lb stone in the Weight For Height competition. Then those guys throwing logs (cabers) -- man that's some serious stuff.

Next year will be the 150th gathering ...
