The white sandy beach is surrounded by Meadow Park which offers BBQs and picnic areas for those who wish to endulge themselves by making it an day or evening picnic etc. An extra treat for sunbathers is showers in the area to rinse off the sand before getting in the car.
A brand new 16 foot slide is installed and ready for kids! Hours of operation are currently noon to 5pm on both Saturdays and Sundays.

Remember when I told you about the Big Bear Cache Bash on Aug. 15, 2009? Well, it was cancelled. AAUUGGHGH! However, what is going to be held at the same time 3:00 pm, Saturday Aug, 15, 2009 at the same place (Meadow Park) is THE BIG BEAR GEOCACHE EVENT! Instead of a BBQ, it will be a dessert pot luck.
On the Friday night, Aug. 14, the LOG CABIN RESTAURANT is hosting their 1st Annual Log Cabin CheeseBurger Bash Event…you will get the BEST CHEESEBURGER ON THE HILL! Right after that, we will caravan to the FLASH EVENT.
Saturday will be the Big Bear Geocaching Event and Sunday there is a PIZZA EVENT! Geocachers don’t just eat although it seems like it! I am sure there will be other events so keep an eye out @ WWW.Geocaching.com for all the fun activities in August.
Why not rent a cabin and split the price! I would be happy to help you find the perfect place for your geocaching adventure!

Well, we just finished our big event! I finally got to meet some of the owners that I talk to on the phone! What a great group of owners we have!
We had some of the best BBQ-tri-tip and chicken Shane could muster! Great salads and desserts!
We panned for gold…and BB’s as well as had a Dutch Oven demo! Some folks have asked for the recipe, so here is the
DUMP CAKE DUTCH OVEN RECIPE…
Ingredients:
1 29 oz. can of sliced peaches
one small can of crushed pineapple
1 box of yellow cake mix (just dry)
2 Tablespoons butter
Dump the peaches and pineapple into a Dutch Oven and mix. Dump the cake mix evenly on top of the fruit.
Drop pieces of butter over the top of the cake mix. Using 16 coals on the top and 12 coals under the Dutch oven, cook for about 40 minutes or until brown. Be sure to occasionally rotate the Dutch oven to avoid scorching in one area. Serve warm, right out of the oven
(You can make this in a conventional over in a rectangular baking pan at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.)
Hope to see you soon!
Susan

Our current prices are at the lowest they have ever been. Now is the time to take some pressure off and getaway for a much needed break without breaking the bank.
