We went out yesterday driving up the mountain past Lake Arrowhead on up to a town called Running Springs. There is an area that i like, a flat area that reminds me more of being on a country road than mountain roads. We made sure to drive by this one house where they have horses. Every time we go by the horses are out by the fence but this time I could only see them from a distance. The snow has melted quite a bit and it seems we have about 10 more days (10 day weather outlook if they are correct) of no snow.
I feel for the people in Texas and Oklahoma who are dealing with power outages with extreme temps and no heat. Hopefully that will all get sorted out soon for them.
On the way back we did some shopping at Lake Arrowhead Village and on home. Felt so good getting out and about.
Also Sky Park /Santa's Village is in one of the photos . They were closed for the day but usually the parking lot is packed . There are lots of fun things to do there from outside ice skating in winter and roller skating in summer, bike paths that go for miles, a huge campground that was just created across the highway from the Skypark - where people can camp in their RV's overlooking the valley below. There are zip lines, things for small kids to do, restaurants, shops. I've only been there twice since it opened in 2015 but would love to go again. But, it's WAY too expensive if all you want to do would be walk around and stop in a restaurant to eat.
Hope all is well in your world. It's pretty darn good in mine right now since the snow has melted quite a bit.
