Palm Springs to Big Bear
A needed break from Seattle weather:) Nice four day trip to Sunny Southern Cali.
My friend Jennifer and I went to Southern California in January '01. The weather was perfect, just what we needed after a long rainy winter. These photos were taken in the many canyons just outside of Palm Springs.
Thinking about it and laughing of how we left the mountains of Washington to go snowboarding at Big Bear ski resort in Big Bear, CA. Its just amusing to me. We went snowboarding for the day, it was snowing. A very different kind of snow than what Washington produces. I had a blast and love the powdary stuff. However, my friend thought the snow was clumpy and just icy enough to be painful. I loved it, but did not like the blizzard we got caught in. A real adventure.
These are the thoughts of my friend: "On another note, it was awesome going from a very urban setting (LA) to a desert oasis (Palm Springs) to the hard-core desert (29 Palms) to a snowy mountain top (Big Bear), all within 100 miles of eachother. Southern California has its share of problems, but it's a blessed place in my book." I agree with her.
