How romantic! I like that.

When I was first working I was sent out to work on an Arthur Andersen project in Colton, which is a nothing little burg between Riverside and San Bernardino. Was dating a woman at work who loved going up into the mountains -- my coworkers in fact dubbed her The Mountain Woman ;-) -- so became familiar wtih Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead. Are they still relatively unspoiled or overrun now like the rest of California?
