These photos were taken on the 19th and 20th of June when we drove the Dodge Magnum to the desert city of Victorville to attend the Huck Finn Jubilee - a world class

Bluegrass Festival. We met with old friend Wayne Taylor and the band members of his new group, Appaloosa. It was a fun weekend punctuated by a visit to the historic ghost town of Calico, California.
