Camping in Big Bear Round 2
/I bought a Poler Napsack the other day and decided I must use is immediately, so Anni, Finn and I headed up to Serrano Campground in Big Bear. It was a quick spirit quest, but a fun and fulfilling one. We arrived Friday night and left Saturday afternoon, but definitely accomplished a lot in the short period of time.
One night of camping and my Jeep was packed full (thanks Mom). Although, we did use just about every essential that we brought with us:
Cooler
Tent
Poler Napsack
Sleeping bag
Blankets
Camping chairs (the best ones I have ever seen. They even had built in tables with mug holders)
One clothing bag each
S'mores fixings
Hot dogs and veggie dogs
Bullet whiskey
PRB
Ice
Home made, ready to cook breakfast burritos
Electric lantern
Camping self inflating air mattresses
Aluminum mugs and plates
Anni built the fire (in record time) and I set up the tent and we managed to eat as many s'mores as possible for dinner.
I have been Pinteresting a bit much lately and came across the genius idea of bringing breakfast burritos wrapped in foil to cook over the fire in the morning and I must say it was a success! We also had some hot dogs.
Our good friend, Butters, is a Big Bear native, and him and his epic grom daughter, Emerald, joined us for a fun filled day of activities. We headed to Boulder Bay, where we had a mini hike to and from the lake, changed our clothes and had a late lunch at Jasper's BBQ in the village.
We headed home around 3:30pm through the first rain I had seen in ages and it was the perfect way to end our journey. The smell of rain in the mountains is something I long for all summer. Sometimes we just need a little wilderness...and an adventurous friend, a great dog, and a cool hat.
