We had the honor to feed 400 rock climbers who attended the 30th annual 2025 Climb Smart Clinic November 21st & 22nd at Indian Cove, Joshua Tree National Park. One serving each night at 4:30 p.m. to a trail of climbing enthusiasts enduring the cold rainy conditions. Despite the dreary conditions JT Desert Drifters and Chef Aaron & Sue turned the desert into the best Filipino-British-Irish comfort-food buffet you’ve ever seen in a national park. The Menu (cooked by Chef Aaron and team)
- Chicken Adobo
- Mushroom Adobo – Vegetarian
- Garlic Fried Rice
- Filipino-style Macaroni Salad
- Cucumber Salad – GF & Vegan
- Cottage Pie (beef)

- Saturday: golden light → sunset mist that made the buffet line look cinematic
