Jack, Gary and I drove up to Big Bear Lake today. The lake itself is 7 miles long and 1 mile wide. People were tubing, skiing and snowboarding at many of the popular spots. There is still a considerable amount of snow at the 5,000 to 8,000 foot elevations. The road up to Big Bear is steep, winding and curvy and I would not want to drive it in the Winter! The views up past Lake Arrowhead were pretty and would have been spectacular if not for the smog from L.A. lingering in the valley. We were all surprised at the large number of year round homes,stores and businesses at Big Bear. We drove through Big Bear City, The Village at Big Bear and down the other side of the mountain on an equally steep road with sharp corners but wonderful views.
Went to Fantasy Springs Casino for the dinner buffet as Jack and I had free coupons...however, there isn't anything really free at a casino!!
Slightly overcast today and windy tonight.
