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:
More Point Isabel and Berkeley’s Live Oak Street Fair
Video and pictures of Monte, Aaron and me:
Trip to Santa Cruz and Pigeon Point Lighthouse
Some pictures and a video of our trip around the bay today.
We thought the buildings by the lighthouse were for the staff, but it’s actually a hostel! See http://www.norcalhostels.org/pigeon/

Here are four videos and about 150 pictures to give you a virtual tour of our new place, which we moved into a few days before April Fool’s Day this year. It feels like I’ve barely been here since with my trips to Phoenix and New York, where I was for 11 days.

Thanks to my friend Ed for taking these wonderful pictures.
Pictures on my walk home from Castro Valley BART station.
Daughter and I are going to start to look for places to live in the Emeryville/Oakland area starting tomorrow.
Landlords divorced after decades and foreclosed, basically. I can’t buy the place, so unless a family member comes through with a cash offer, we have to move anyway by beginning of April.
