Mineral King is a happening place in the summer, especially in August, and most especially on weekends.

The Mineral King Preservation Society has two annual events. One was called the “hoe-down”, and was a square dance. It developed into a concert with stories of MK history, and it came with dinner.

Have a look:

Okay, dinner wasn’t a big deal – just sandwiches, fruit and cookies. No one complained, and nothing was left over.

Keith and Esther call themselves “Mankin Creek” and they are FANTASTIC musicians.

Hi Mary – glad you were having such a good time!

Can’t remember these peoples’ names, but they have been camping in MK for years and years.

Hi Jenna! Nice family portrait!

And then the moon rose. It was a wonderful August evening. Maybe you’d like to come next year!
