We were up at Big Bear Lake and then headed down the 18 towards Baldwin Lake Ecological Preserve. (altitude about 6800 feet - they get all seasons there). Before going into the Preserve we decided since we had taken the jeep this time to discover more of the area. We took off on dirt roads and I was so surprised to see many more houses and cabins that you don't even know exist out there unless you travel these roads.
This first picture we saw after taking a dirt road and this opened up before us. I immediately wanted to move into that blue house. I kept imagining what the night sky must look like out there. Most properties seems to be on several acres and I can just imagine the peaceful feeling in this particular area. Oh...and the fresh air smell was amazing.
I knew this was my kind of place when i saw the skeleton lounging against the rock. (photos toward the bottom) I figured there is a kind of strangeness here I could live with.
There are quite a few dirt roads to explore and we didn't get to all of them. Some were really really bumpy but this particular road was easy to drive on. I know there is more to explore but we will save it for another trip up - probably next week. There should be more blooms happening at Pebble Plain than we have seen so far so we will check that out next time.
