Moosehead on Tap! Heaven!

For our mystery trip, I drove to Lake Arrowhead. I took the back route up the mountains and had forgotten how windey the roads are - Ohhhh - lots of fun. The lake is at 5,100 feet but one must drive to about 7,000 feet to get over the mountain and down to the lake. We hadn't been to the lake for about 10 years and the village has been greatly improved. As you can see from the photos, Lake Arrowhead is a beautiful place and the weather was perfect.



There were lots of boats on the lake and a few brave water skiers - but that lake water is very cold - rather them than me! For a time it looked as though the storm clouds would gather but luckily the thunder stayed away.

It was actually quite hot in the sun - about 80F - and this lovely little waterfall in the village shopping center made a very welcome tinkling!

Lots of wildlife inhabit the lake including many mallards - some with babies. One of the shops was selling duck food to the kids for a few cents - and -by the amount of duck food being chucked in the water, those ducks should be fat as pigs!

However, the highlight of our day was when we walked into "Woody's" pub and Mr. Indi saw Moosehead on tap! He thought he had died and gone to heaven! We stayed and had a couple of brews and were interested to watch the barman, Troy, mixing a strange drink called a Mojito. He put some slices of lime and a few sprigs of mint along with a measure of sugar in the bottom of a tall glass and gave it all a good bashing with a wooden spoon. He then filled the glass with ice - poured in a big shot of white rum - and topped it off with sparkling water. Mr. Indi tried one and I had a sip. Yuck! Sorry but no thanks!

We had a great day out. Lake Arrowhead is a beautiful spot.
