Welp...it was a bit warmer and more humid than I expected, with blue bird skies and no chance of rain, but our little trio had a good time and a nice lunch stop at BLTs in Big Bear. The labor day mob hadn't descended on the mountain just yet, so the trails and roads weren't clogged up with tourists and happy campers. Lawrence, Lillie and I did about 80 miles, and played in the river a little to cool off, on our way back to Heart Bar. Another successful dual sport ride on the books.

Looks like it was a fun day. As a fellow Southern Californian, do you mind sharing the forest roads we could take to get to the dammed river and pond?
The pond is at a privately owned nature reserve called Bluff Lake, and it is off 2N10. The river is the Santa Ana river on 1N45, just off the 38 highway.
