Freezing My Ass In Big Bear California
Freezing my ass in Big Bear California. Not really. From Los Angeles to Big Bear in Freezing-My-Ass-Big-Bear-California-Bob Davis Podcast 1152. It’s a little cooler at seven thousand feet than it is down in the desert.
Oil Change
Firstly after trying several mechanics in LA I discovered no one wants to take the big old ambulance on for an oil change..
Forget LA
Secondly I called in an audible.
As a matter of fact my Brother and Sister in Law have a place in Big Bear. We came up last week after Thanksgiving.
And we planned to come back up this weekend anyway.
Welcome To Big Bear Country
So I decided to take a chance and find someone to do an oil change up at Big Bear.
Family and Fun
By the same token it is not only fun but really good for me to spend some time with family up here.
Furthermore the mooch-docking continues.
Basically what’s not to like.
Big Bear History
To begin with Freezing-My-Ass-Big-Bear-California-Bob Davis Podcast 1152 takes a very surface look at the history of this area.
From Native Americans to Miners and later Settlers. And Grizzlies.
The American West
In fact I am fascinated these days with the history of the American West.
Real History
Even more one of my conclusions is that the history of the settlement of the American West is in many ways the real history of the United States.
Tests
That is to say that the real test of the legal institutions of the new country back in the day was the push west starting with the Ohio River Valley.
People Led The Way
Significantly I think it’s fair too suggest that the people led the way during the decades before the Continental United States became a reality.
Controversy
Of course controversy is and has always been a factor in this part of the country.
Therefore I am not taking a position on any of these historical realities.
Natural Beauty
In addition California continues to amaze me with its natural beauty.
The Drive Up
Accordingly the drive up to Big Bear from LA starts with the usual traffic jams.
Mountain Views
Giving way to breathtaking mountain views afterward.
New Podcast
All in all there is a lot to talk about in this podcast.
Future Plans
in like manner I take a little time to talk about future plans.
Fly Over
Equally impressive was the experience of getting buzzed by my pilot nephew and the audio I was able to capture.
Short Distance Travel
To sum up being able to travel short distances and have a complete change of point of view is just what the doctor ordered for this nomad.
