welcome to big bear

we drove up to big bear today but left kinda late in my opinion. we hit some traffic going up where the lanes merge. i've been up this mountain before as i'm pretty sure it's this same one that my relatives had a cabin when i was growing up. but i never went up to the top, the part known as big bear. we didn't intend on staying very long, not even overnight but we wanted to see some snow. we saw that some snow had fallen but most had melted in the sun. there remained some snow in shaded areas. there were people playing in the snow so that must have been man-made. my mom made a picnic but forgot the food so we ate a crappy lunch at a small cafe that was open. we walked around the lake a little bit and drove around. that was pretty much it. i didn't even touch the snow. we agreed we should come back another time and stay overnight.
