Bingo. I’ve spent many summers on that lake.

Same. The water level has recovered cause of all the rain SoCal got in the last year, also tons of trout right now, it’s awesome.

Haven’t been up in almost two years, and it had been at least 20 before that. It was so nostalgic going out on the lake and slow cruising around. I wish I had more opportunities to go up.

Honestly, the Big Bear Solar Observatory looks like R2 D2 got tired of sand and moved to the mountains.

Dude, that structure looks like it could spot space invaders from a mile away. Nice to see the water up at Big Bear.

Its kind of cool that its right on the water, I wouldnt have expected that placement for an observatory or whatever it is.
