It was going to be another very hot day at the house so we decided to go into
the mountains to play. This is an area called Mormon Rocks in the Cajon Pass.
One of these days we are going to have to explore these rock formations but
not today.

First we stopped at Jackson Lake for a picnic. There were a number of people
here enjoying the lake for fishing and swimming.

Ahh this end of the lake is pretty quiet.

Oh, a dirt road I wonder where it goes. <grin> This road actually went
back into the mountains behind Wrightwood for 12 miles to two different
campgrounds. In some areas the road goes along a pretty narrow ridge with
drop offs on both sides.

Near the end of the dirt road we had this great view of the backside of Mr.
Baldy (Mt. San Antonio). Our house is on the other side. Our GPS said we were
at about 8,500 ft here. The temperature was cool in the upper 60's low 70's.
With the building of the thunderhead clouds I hoped to see some lightening but
no such luck today.
