Some people love Burning Man, but REAL people love Burning Uke!
In mid September Mark and I joined 130 other crazed musicians for 3 days of strumming in Big Sur. The weather was perfect and the scenery was exquisite.
Ah...sweet spoiling! Mark supplied us with fresh cappuccino AND a propane heater to keep us toasty in the bracing morning temps.
On Saturday we could sit in on uke or hula sessions, jam extemporaneously or just relax & enjoy.
Because of fire danger, we couldn't burn the 12 foot tall uke this year...so we burned it in effigy and sacrificed a real uke builder on Sunday morn.
Of course Mark had to take a few glorious bike rides, complete with his IPod Shuffle--you know the one that plugs into his helmet.
When Judy wasn't strumming, she was busy playing the spud and harmonizing.
Of course Jon guarded the campsite.
but poor Spencer didn't appreciate Mom messing with him during an afternoon nap.
Thanks to the Santa Cruz Uke Club for yet another wonderful weekend of fun, frolic, fantastic food and frivolity!

It looks like a very fun week-end. I like all the photos (the scenery is spectacular), but my favorite photo is the one with Spencer giving you a dirty look.

wow..what a fun filled weekend!! the terrain is beautiful as well...and at first I thought you had to be fenced in so you would behave...but I see you had your fur babies with you *wink*
thanks for checking in and sharing your fun!!
That looks like a lot of fun. Sooo, when are you showing us your hula?
Jood, It looks like you had a ton of fun! Great photos! Fran
Wow, 130 crazed muscicians. Yes, I can see where you and Mark would fit in perfectly. Looks like a fun, wacky adventure.

Great photo's Jood. Sounds like you and Mark had a wonderful time. I wish I could have witnessed the hula session. Gorgeous scenery.
