Camping in the San Bernadino Mountains







Can't start a camping trip without some good old pork rinds! Yummy. We took the bikes up into the San Bernadino Mountains just outside of Lake Arrowhead. During the summer it is way too hot to ride in the desert, so we go into the mountains and enjoy the 80 degree temperatures and for me the bloody noses. Well worth it for the fun we had! Camping in the woods, under the starts, where the local bear can scrounge the campgrounds or your sleeping quarters. We were warned about a young bear that had been visiting the campsite and to keep an eye out. Bears, if brave or hungry enough, have been known to total cars to get to the goodies inside. Even a piece of chewing gum in your vehicle can lure them to shredding your car into pieces. Thankfully for us, this bear didn't show the night that we camped.

As many of you can tell, Dad is the more experienced rider out of the three of us. Hence a little more confidence in his capabilities! Rock climbing and racing through water. What fun!
