No doubt the club made the right decision in canceling the 5MM star party.
I have no interest one way or the other since I would not be attending anyway. 
However, Pine is below the rim and situated close to the rim where I (just me)
would expect more rainy and cloudy conditions because of the elevational change
from Pine to the top of the rim. I see this all the time when we have unsettled
weather and I drive from Black Canyon City to the stop of the steep hill.

In any event, although I am not encouraging or discouraging anyone from 5MM it
interesting that the forecast continues to improve for Happy Jack. Two days ago
it was 20% thunderstorms. Yesterday it dropped to 10%. Today they do not even
mention thunderstorms.
