No photos today!? Actually, yes. See at the bottom for Rose's input.
We had great breakfast burritos at the Off Broadway Cafe in Big Bear City, then started the climb to Onyx summit. It was a steady climb and pretty, but nothing inspired me to stop for pictures.
The summit was over 8000 feet, so we added layers of clothes for the descent, which went on and on! We did stop to pull off layers as we reached lower elevations, then kept rolling downhill to Yucaipa.
We hadn't found camping because it's the weekend and many of the campgrounds are closed. So, we stopped at a pizza place and ate our weight worth of salad at the all you can eat salad bar. While we ate we looked up local hotels - one was full, the other was way out of the way and the last one didn't answer the phone... So, we decided to ride over to the last one. The next possible place to stop is 15 or so more miles and it's late in the day.
The Sunset Motel has a prominent sign by the security window that says no prostitution is allowed. The fee is $60 per night, plus a $5 deposit that is returned when the key is turned in. Security cameras abound. The TV doesn't work so they gave us $5 back. Well, the shower works, there's WiFi and the overhead light works...
I guess you could say that when we have a choice of one, the decision is easy!
Rose's note: Onyx summit is the highest road summit in so cal, wow!
