Big Bear 8-18 to 8-20 (NOW WITH PICS!)

[Shoyrtt]

My weekend plans have changed. I was planning on a week of water skiing at Shaver Lake that was cancelled. Always looking for the opportunity to 4X4  , I read there is a large Toyota run planned for Big Bear this weekend.  That's only a 45 minute drive for me and even better, Marlin is donating to the raffle I will probably only run the 19th.

Never fear, the wifey says we might take the boat out for a couple of days next week.

Now I read the organized run is cancelled so no raffle etc. Oh well, I'll just cruise around  and watch the IFS rigs get stuck.
