Ben & Craig- We'll always be grateful to you guys for your tireless posts, links, and updates during the pandemonium of the Old Fire!

They moved to potato-ville and haven't looked back! But they're around and doing great! I talk to them quite regularly.

Oh I found it. Member 43

What member number am I Benny? What ever happened to Cami and Lumber Jill?
Hope Big Bear is doing wonderful. Sure do miss it.

Oh Dave! Birthdays just seem to keep rolling on by.Gosh we should have been at October feast celebrating! 🍺🎉😘

Happy Birthday, KK. Sorry I missed it. I did remember my brother's on the same day, however.

Hi Craig! Is there any way that BVES could provide real-time information directly to the SCM feed? They are too slow with updates on their page/site (in this morning's case, 2 hours behind).

BVES UPDATE:
Update 9:15 a.m.: Power has now been restored to a majority of homes in this area. A small number of homes remain out, and our crews are currently working on that issue.

From the BVES page:
Localized Outage Wednesday, Sept. 23 - Metcalf Bay Area
We are aware of the localized outage impacting homes near the Alpine Slide and Metcalf Bay. Our crews are investigating and will be working to get power restored as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve the issue.

Also making life in Big Bear fun today is that CalTrans is repaving a big section of BB Blvd. CHP is pulling over anyone attempting to make left turns despite there not being any signs stating that you can't. Definitely a day to avoid the Blvd if you can.

Outage only seems to be affecting the west end of town. Everything on the other side of the village appears to have power. Saw a BVES crew outside of Big Bear Frontier working on something.

Amazing that any company, such as BVES, uses Facebook to communicate. They have a website and have all of our contact info; how about using that?

Check Facebook? How? I've been banned by Facebook and they will not respond when I ask why! I suppose I could try again under a different name. Has anybody else had this type of experience?
