Default Big Bear Bash Corvettes

Who's headed up to Big Bear this weekend for the 24th annual Big Bear Bash? There's usually about a trillion Corvettes for this event. We're gathering a group to come from Palm Springs and we'd love to hook up with any forum members for a cold one when we get there!

Greg..there are some going up from our group...one is a 63 silver split window...Temecula Corvettes...look them up when you get there..do some recruiting for the forum....ha ha ha..

I'm not going this year...thrashing on the 78 and the 69 would cost me about $200 in gas...no kidding...

ABC and affliliates have a record of selling the news...not reporting it...I happened to be driving thru Yucca Valley on the Sunday the fire started
returning from Amboy,Ca July 9th.....the nearest the fire got to Big Bear was 10 miles away about a week later.....when both the Sawtooth fire and Millard fire joined up..

Here is a picture I took that day approaching Yucca Valley..you can see the smoke crossing the highway in the distance...note my temp gage..200..it was 110 F that day...
