Big Bear on Labor Day

We zipped up to the cabin on Friday night. No traffic after 7pm.
Read about the Holcomb Valley Rendezvous. The Bighorn Mountain Men sponsor this annual event. Took a long, bumpy, back way to Holcomb Valley. These people camp out for the weekend in late 1700's and early 1800's tents and period supplies. Including warming their water for washing. I enjoyed watching the ladies weave baskets from pine needles and raffia. Mike enjoyed watching them load and shoot off their muzzle-loading rifles in friendly target shooting competition.

For you campers, there is a campground in Holcomb Valley that is remote and beautiful. We drove past it on a dirt road after leaving the Rendezvous event. The cabin is only 15 minutes away :)
