Caledonian Games

To Athena, to be led like sweaty sheep!













The sheepdog trials were entertaining...












The clansmen displaying their kilts were slightly disturbing...
















maybe it's the backwards caps, maybe it's the tennies and athletic socks...
















But it was fun watching them chuck a 56 pound weight for distance (one guy passed 22 feet)











I tried to talk Carley into the sheaf toss...

















but the other girls scared her

















This guy was just fun to watch, though I think the girl in red finally beat him











After seeing this, Carley said, "This is why I love Eastern Oregon!"
