Bear Events!

We had a great time at (the last?) IBR last week, and now we’re all booked to go to Seattle for Spring Thaw in early April, during which time we plan to take a side trip to Vancouver, BC, which will be my first trip to Canada EVER!  We’ll be staying with close friends, and it should be a great experience.

Adventure Weekend in Big Bear Lake, CA

After surviving some headaches the first day and some more altitude sickness, or bad food which caused my last night to be pretty bed and sink-focused, I must say that all in all I had a wonderful time at the pool with old and new friends in a new environment in a part of California I’ve never been to before, even though it reminded me in several ways of Lake Tahoe.

I’m also glad my car made it, despite some brake “burning” on the way down the mountain and a noise which my brother now believes was the wheel bearing. My friend Ed and I traveled about 900 miles round trip taking the scenic route up and down California in my Buick.

Here are the pictures from my camera and from others who attended:
