Nearly perfect weather -- 3 words that describe the Labor Day BBQ and Music Jam at the mountain cabin of Bob and Mary Ann. Add to that great food, BBQ and drinks, great company in a refreshing natural setting. Fresh air to breathe and at 5200 feet in altitude which is where the Mojave desert and Joshua Trees meets the Pinon and Juniper forest. Yeah, I went snake hunting but only saw two lizards. Here are a few pictures of the nearly annual event. A huge thunderstorm went up just to the West of us -- we could hear the thunder -- but we missed any rain this time. The national weather service even gave the cell I photographed an honorable mention.
