we were gonna roll to crystal lake today but the snow n high probability of black ice forced a redo... so we decided to roll to the santa rosa plateau and check out the views... on a clear day you can see catalina island n palomar mountain n san regorio mountain n san jacinto n big bear... but today te puffy clouds were too low on the horizon...
