Big Bear

It may be awhile before the road reopens - looks like more than a pickup
load of gravel will be required.

Hehe. That's the huffing and puffington post. That means that the
picture is most likely doctored to fit a storyline.

his news from Fox?

Hey, Shants Bob?
The road to Sun Valley is open. I bet you're going to use this pic as
an excuse for not showing up.

While that picture has some of the earmarks
of PhotoShop (it's really clean), I have
seen roads that look like that.

I think I know more or less where that is, on 330 between Highland and
Running Springs. The other ways are longer and more scenic.

This is where the short road in usually gets closed by snow or
rockslide:

Holy ****. Are you so ****ing stupid, so gullible, that you take
Swift Boat Bob's opinion on ANYTHING, especially an honest and
respected liberal media outlet?
Seen Obama's birth certificate lately, teabagger? No suprise you are
also a pathological liar.

Any comment on Swift Boat Bob trashing HuffPo? Of course not. No
matter how crazy your buddy gets, you never call him on his bull****.
And he never calls you on yours. How about that contact info? You
can photoshop it.

The picture looks real, and it's not very high up -- there are several
nice straight stretches before you hit the snow line. I wonder how/if
this will impact the work on the road below the dam...

Looks like Highway 38 from now on. I hate that road, although it's a
much better place to take the tinies to play in the snow.

Hard to tell from the tiny maplet, but that looks to be near where I
smashed my transmission pan on a rock I thought I could drive over. I
could have fixed it myself with JB Weld if I'd known that that's what it
was, but I didn't have a jack or ramps at the time :-(

Some people are like Slinkies... Not really good for
anything, but they still bring a smile to your face
when you push them down a flight of stairs.

A friend of mine was having a fun time on the way home one day in that
stretch running into snow balls that had rolled down into the road.
Then he found one with a rock in it.

As best I can tell from this aerial view

The google camera must have been traveling early morning. I have seen
that sun angle early mornings going into Big Bear
