24 Little Hours

Mountain biking at Big Bear Lake, San Bernardino NF (10/17/20) James Wei

Well, if what Dinah Washington once sang was true …

“What a difference a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain …

Stanley Adams / Maria Grever

Then, what a difference a week makes, at least in Big Bear Lake. James Wei reports he was there a week ago when it was Patchy to Near Peak and now golden hues are everywhere.

He wonders whether the dry year had something to do with the fact that the color isn’t as vibrant as he remembers and though his bike ride through the mountains was fantastic, there’s a sense the color won’t last.
