There aren’t any alpine lake-view cabins or even lake cabins (I wouldn’t call “Big Bear” necessarily “alpine”) any closer than seven hours from SD.[/quote]
Shoot, BG, Big Bear Lake is, if anything, a few hundred feet higher than Lake Tahoe (6700 to 6200) — talkin’ lake level. And when you count just South Lake Tahoe, both don’t exactly have sterling reps for overall class of peeps.
In the case of Palomar, it is a haven for people on two-wheel rockets who like to show off how close their knees get to the ground. As the map shows, that street is right off S7, on the way to the state park. I’m not sure which location on the mountain is best for, say, privacy. I reckon some property owners have to deal with trespassing snowplayers. Maybe off the east grade a ways is best for that, or a ways off any main road.
