[QUOTE="rezrider, post: 14573, member: 79"] Here's a good one but more of a "ya had to be there" story but I'll try and make it interesting. This was a weekend up in the Big Bear area when it was still open to dirt bikes (early 80's). We were camping in the Crab Flats area at the time. This was considered a "guy ride" due to the ONE hill that you had to go down then climb back up to go back...it was pretty rough due to the ruts and incline. The ride was a long, hot one, our destination was Deep Creek. It was a great ride and once we got there we parked our bikes off the trail/road...and "de-geared" (helmets, shirts) to help cool off then proceded to go to the creek to dunk our heads. We kind of spliut up a little...Once we got to the edge we noticed this white car parking on the other side of the creek. The road on the other side was asphalt just up above the creek leading to a short dirt portion that came to the creek. Lots of people would come down from Arrowhead and Cedar Glen to fish, sunbathe, get wet, etc...This couple gets out of an Excaliber...an old looking car with modern mechanical features (new motor, electronics, etc....loooong fenders, soft top, rumble seat...I think). Anyways, they get out of the car, the guy goes to the trunk and takes out a smallish styrofoam cooler, he walks up to his "date"??? who if you can picture a tall barbie doll looking trophy, long blonde hair, lonnnnng legs...etc. both were wearing black pants and white shirts...he was wearing cowboy boots and she had on "CFM's" (very tall high heels)...they get to the edge of the creek and see us on the other side...he asks if there's a beach up the creek, we said yea and it's empty.
