Tracy wanted a weekend in Big Bear. IMO the North facing slope South of Big Bear Lake is AMAZING. Cool topography and geology around every corner. And the views aren't half bad either. Our plan was to spend most of the weekend in this area. We left Norco at 6:30pm on Friday night. Once up the hill we headed for YP30 only to find it occupied. We found a turnout about 1 mile away and stopped for the night.

Sunset. 1/4 mile walk from YP30 to this view. The road cut in the distance is the Arctic Circle section of Hwy 18.


I like a good fire The benefit of a Yellow Post site over dispersed camping.

Hah. Cool. Recognize your truck. We were staying at Hanna Flat over the weekend. Passed you Saturday morning on the Coxey Truck Trail as we were headed out to Holcomb.

"yellow post 30", where is this campground or camp spot located? I have been camping at Holcomb Valley campground but want to try somewhere new.

Thanks,

Derrick
