Thank Wei for organizing this trip. Thank Chengxiang for driving. Thank all the travel mates for giving me this wonderful trip.

Big Bear Lake is a lake in California with an altitude of about 7000 feet (about 2100 meters) above sea level. It's recreation area very suitable for a bunch of friends taking a few days off to relax. Possible activities include: fishing, boating, kayaking, swimming, photo taking, hiking, skiing in winter, etc. In summer, it's also a great place to escape from the high temperature because of its high altitude.

We had to check out before 11am, so we got up early to clean the house. Ended up finishing by 10am. Then we started to drive back.

In the carpool lane of CA-91, we were driving at about 80mph and suddenly found the car in front of us had stopped with braking lights off. We braked immediately and almost rear-ended it. Fortunately our seatbelts were all fastened and nobody was hurt.

Anyway, we were safely back and had lunch at Taste of Asia (重慶美味川菜) at Lake Forest.

Back from the lake, we played some 80/tractor. Dinner included KFC chicken and homemade dishes. I want to thank whoever cooked. Then all of us played the game Mafia.

Leaving Chinatown Buffet, we went on a ship to tour around the lake and tried fishing. With the ships exciting waves and the wild ducks swimming and flying around, the lake is beautiful and vital.

Our fishing was not successful. Some people came around to show off their harvest.
