I think at the end of the day, the best part is really just fantasizing about real estate with your wife in a mountain city bakery after camping with giant cups of coffee and scones.

Looking toward the future here at low altitude, less giddy, I feel now that the future of the san jacinto forest in 20 years will probably be bad bad bad due to global warming.
Increasing dryness and higher temps, insect infestations killing weaker trees, fires. Without a forest, the place will become death valley mountain ranges…
If I believed there would likely be a lush, healthy forest up there in my old age, I’d be much more confident about putting down some money for a home, whether vacation or relocation. It definitely feels and looks different up there than 10 years ago.
Although …while we were in the bakery we saw a team of many artsy people sketching measuring and snapping pics. Fox network people, they said, some new idyllwild show in the works…
Still, the future is in my eyes bleak, for idyllwild, and very coastal mansions. I forgot that due to temporary euphoria. Could be cool to live on a death valley denuded san jac. Hill, but that’s more like a near ghost town..
