Ten years ago this month is when I finally made the move to Big Bear Lake. Before the move, I trekked up the hill from Long Beach as often as I could to ride my bike, kayak, hike and enjoy all the other great things the mountains have to offer. When I got the chance to live anywhere I wanted it was an easy choice, Big Bear!
I asked some friends that lived in Big Bear to keep an eye out for a rental I could move into right away. They had a sweet little cabin picked out when I showed up. Since that day my quality of life has changed for the better, and I’ve met some great people and really immersed myself into life in a small town and I love it. In the last ten years I’ve made hundreds of new friends, ridden thousands of miles in the mountains and shared a million smiles.
Happy Anniversary to me!
Sharing the love, Rev

Congrats to you! Next month will be 12 years for me. I moved from crowded, pretentious and depressing Marin and never looked back.
