May 18 - Hike and Outlaw Festival

A little gardening to start the day. 

Since we were leaving the dogs for a long time while we are at the Outlaw Festival, we wanted to tire them out. A hike on the Snow Mountain Canal Trail hopefully did the trick. 

We can catch this trail from Shan and Carl’s house. We hiked about 4+ miles. 

Wildflowers are starting to pop. 

Now it’s time for the Outlaw Festival. What a great outdoor venue. Weather was great with just enough breeze so it wasn’t so hot. TV The drive to Wheatland was easy … and sunny. 

The lineup was Sierra Hull, Billy Strings, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson. 

Arlo didn’t care who was singing. He needed a nap!

And Nana Peg needed a drink. 

It was such a fun day for all of us. 

April 28 - Playing in the snow at Sugar Bowl

A fun day at Carl and Shan’s favorite ski slope and lodge, Sugar Bowl. while Carl skied, we listened to a great bluegrass band, Pickle Barrel and had a couple brews.

Since this was the last day to ski here, people decided to make it really fun. This is Carl in his crab outfit. 

Arlo now waves and says hi to anyone who passes by. 

Pickle Barrel, the band. 

August 6 - Bluesapalooza

Nestled among the pines, the Woods at Mammoth Lakes is home to the Mammoth Festival of Beers and Bluesapalooza! 

They built two stages from the ground up, lots  the best breweries, ciders and seltzers, great music, and the best was the fun with the family. 

Did I mention how dusty it was? Oh my!!

Back to Shan and Carl’s for dinner. Lenny and Carl slept.
