Comment: Ah, small world! So around 2011 was the first time I was in the desert - I was out in the Mojave desert for work. It was the middle of summer and one of the stops was Lucerne Valley to a plant there. Myself and my coworkers decided to take the scenic route by Big Bear Lake and it was awesome! No snow at that time, but a little surreal thinking about how close the mountains and ski slopes are to the desert. Thanks for the card!
Comment: Glad you enjoyed Lake Tahoe. We have a condo there (inherited from my mother-in-law) and our kids love going up to ski, though I haven't been there in years.
