the streets and dirt were damp. it looked as if we had just
missed the rain, but there were stars above us. we set up the tent,
including the rain fly, just in case, and relaxed with a cocktail.
next morning, on gold mountain, it was obvious it had rained hard recently.
as we neared 3n16 (main dirt road from big bear to lake arrowhead)
i heard a "clicking" noise. a loose bolt on my driveline was rubbing on
my rear drive disconnect. we headed east on 3n16 back to the hwy.
as we rolled into big bear proper it started raining cats and dogs, i mean
the freekin streets were flooding in a matter of minutes.
apparently no one expected this> there were harley riders everywhere.
most of them only wearing T shirts and looking for shelter. after picking up
new bolts, i laid in a puddle installing them and we headed back to the trails.
it rained hard for about 30 minutes, then turned to sprinkles for several hours
after that.
back on the trail, we ran into a very large group, in no hurry to get anywhere.
my brother and i were being smart asses over the radio, and these folks seem
to play along so we ended up hangin out with them for a few hours.
