A Little History & Information about Arrowhead Ranch Camp

Your Lake Arrowhead Realtor would like to share some local Lake Arrowhead Information with you.

Where life is an adventure, not a race is  Arrowhead Ranch Camp's motto. It sits on 12 acres in a beautiful forest setting, tucked away on Cottage Grove Dr, only a mile from Lake Arrowhead Village.

Arrowhead Ranch Camp originally housed professionally ice skaters who were training at the  Ice Castle International Training Center right here in Lake Arrowhead. The skaters would stay in one of the 12 dorm-style rooms (built in the 50's) or one of the many cozy,  little cabins. The camp can sleep a total of 108 folks.

 

Nowadays, the camp hosts weekend escapes and an outdoor science school for kids, teaching them from the California State Board of Education, Science Framework, taught by trained Naturalists . The classes are for fifth and sixth graders and used in an hands-on-style learning process. The idea behind this type of teaching is for the children to hike, hear, see, feel, touch and smell the science concepts beyond a regular classroom.  This camp truely has the children interacting with nature and the natural forest surroundings.  

The standard 5-day program is like a typical school week, accept is it geared around the great outdoors: botany, geology, astromomy, meterology and many more classes.  And the kids do receive school credits! Though the camp is coed, the boys and girls sleep in sepatarte areas, but do join together to form coed groups. 

There is also a heated pool and jacuzzi on the property as well as many hiking trails.

In the dining room,  kids are served 3 square meals a day from an all-you-can-eat buffet. Yummy! And the camp even offers vegetarian dishes to accomodate those with food allergies or non-meat eaters.

The camp is also available for wedding and family reunions or just weekend getaways. Now how much fun would that be?

Green Valley Lake ~ A tiny treasure in the San Bernardino Mountains

If you have never been to GREEN VALLEY LAKE, then you've been missing a tiny treasure tucked away in the San Bernardino Mountains. With a population of approx 800 folks (living there year round), it really is all about "small town atmosphere." People spend their summer months on the lake, which by the way, is an easy walk to from almost any cabin or home. The fishing is great!!! Just ask a local. Winters give way to cross country skiing and, if you want to hit the slopes, you only have a short drive back to highway 18 and head up to Snow Valley  or Big Bear.   which is a hop, skip and a jump away.

Elevation is around 7,200 elevation and that usually means that they get quite a bit of snow in the winters.  Some of the activities that one can do in warm weather months, besides the fishing, is hiking on many of the beautiful trails, bird watching and horse back riding... OR plain old relaxing!

Green Valley Lake is man made (in 1926) and is approx nine acres in size. It is regularly stocked with Bass, Catfish, and Crappie. A record rainbow trout was caught and weighed in at 13 lbs & 3 ounces. You can put a small boat in the lake, but no biggies.

Summer temps are usually around 80 degrees and winter temps may hover at 15 or so. Check here for current Weather.

Even though it is small, Green Valley Lake has a general store, restaurant (love the veggie burgers there), post office, cabin rentals and boat facilities.

(if I am not mistaken, the entire town is for sale)...and if you're interested, you know who to call; KAT!

Location: Take Highway 18 past Running Springs, and look for the sign. Follow it four mile.

Picture is a winter, iced-over Green Valley Lake

There are currently 36 active listings in GVL (on Rim of the World MLS) prices ranging from $95,000 - $698,000.   ASK for a list of homes that meet your critiera.

Mountain Weather ~ And Road Conditions

 Your Lake Arrowhead Realtor would like to share some local Lake Arrowhead Information with you.

Always worth repeating when we're having MAJOR storms. Be careful out there.

 WEATHER IN LAKE ARROWHEAD. You can actually set this for any other town, but this one is for Lake Arrowhead.

In my car, I always keep an extra pair of shoes/boots, socks, mitten/gloves, blanket, small shovel, flashlight, couple bottles of water and a few snack bars.  You just never know what can happen during one of Mother Nature's fits.

CALTRANS California Department of Transportation has one of the best sites to find out about road conditions.  Just type in the highway/freeway and it displays the current conditons. This is great for the mountains!   Click HERE to view ALL California Roads. If you're stopped by the California Highway Patrol during a snow storm, or even after its past, you MAY be ask to show your "Car chains.) There are time you MUST chain up, so just be prepaared ahead of time.

 LAKE ARROWHEAD VILLAGE WEBCAM A fun site to actually see what IT LOOKS LIKE in Lake Arrowhead (The Village).  I use it to see how crowded it is before I head over there to eat or shop. :-)

Be safe!

What an incredibly talented young woman... you will be AMAZED

 

Via Ann Allen ~ SRES ASP e-PRO REALTOR® ~ Birmingham Alabama Luxury Homes (Keller Williams Realty):

 

YOU GOTTA SEE THIS......Amazing and Beautiful!

 

My friend, Andrea Hubbert, shared this on Facebook today.......it is so beautiful and moving! Kseniya Simonova is a Ukrainian artist that won Ukraine's Got Talent 2009. She uses a light box and sand to tell her interpretation of the invasion of the Ukraine by Germany during WWII. It left me speechless and I think you will love it too! The video is a little over eight minutes, but it is worth every second!

A Lake Arrowhead "Icon" Passes Away

Anyone who lives in Lake Arrowhead (the San Bernardino Mountains) has heard of our local Mountain Man, Mr. Putman "Putty" Henck. He was our mountain icon! Putty died this week at the age of 91.

...a few bits of information about Putty and his family:

  • The Henck family were true pioneers to our mountains moving here in the early 1920's.
  • They were responsible for building and managing Santa's Village in Sky Forest.
  • Putty was a "Citizen of the Year of the Lake Arrowhead Communities Chamber.
  • His folks built the first school (there is one named after a Henck fam. member; Mary Putman Henck) & fire department
  • First family to run water and electricity to our mountains.
  • Our Lake Arrowhead Village Visitors Center is named in Putty's honor

If you'd like to attend his memorial service, it'll be held on January 23 at the Lake Arrowhead Resort. Contact Leslie McLellan for a time, which has yet to be announced.  (909) 337-3715 or info@lakearrowhead.net

Get OFF your BEHIND & Go Get Business ~ Don't Wait for IT to Come to You

 

Let's not kid ourselves, the Real Estate market has been in the dumps for several years now. Many Realtors have jumped ship, headed to higher land and went on to other careers, or may be flipping burgers at McD's (which is fine and dandy). But for those of us who have hung in there like limp laundry on a loose line, we've had to re-invent ourselves, to say the least.

 

The point of my post is to help those who "wait" for business to come to them. Because, frankly, you're depending on a whole lotta luck. Yeah, I know, luck does play a small part in Real Estate to some degree. But the truth of the matter is, you get what you give, and that goes for your business as well as in your personal life. IF you want to be successful in Real Estate, you really will have to get off your BEHIND and go get it.  

 "What can I do?" you ask...   I'll tell you:

Since approx. 80% or more of consumers (buyers and sellers) start their search Online, my tips will be geared toward the 'net. And what will these tips do for you? GET YOU, YOUR NAME & BUSINESS "OUT THERE!" if you use them. ( You've heard about Google Juice????)

 

  • Get a BLOG. I have several. There are many FREE sites where you can design your own. If that isn't your forte,  hire someone. (Call or email me and I'll give you a name or two of "experts" in this field).  Your blog should give visitors a feel for who YOU are. Your sense of humor, etc.  And of course about your area of expertise. Write insightful posts. Fun pictures. Entertaining videos. I use a little Flip Video and digital camera. Both inexpensive! The most IMPORTANT advice I can give you about blogging is to BLOG. Try to get something out there at least 2 - 3 times a week. Consistency pays off.  Let me just add this; I've learned everything about blogging right here on ActiveRain, which is a wealth of information.  And I have oh so much more to learn.
  • Get a WEBSITE. Again, design your own OR hire an expert. Prices range from in-expensive to outrageous, to be quite honest. I believe in "keeping it simple" and making it an easy-to-search site where folks can find local info or to search for homes for sale. IF you can only afford one or the other, I say get a BLOG first.
  • Take FREE WEBINARS ONLINE from the comfort of your chair (recliner in my case). I bet you have a few hours a week to dedicate to this, right? 
  • Join the Social Networking World; because if you don't, or haven't, you'll soon be left in a thick fog of dust. The two most popular (in my opinion) are FACEBOOK and TWITTER. Interact with other Realtors. You'll be surprised at what you'll learn. And, it's fun!

Okay, I think these few suggestions will keep you busy for a while, and I HOPE help you in some way. So, now, go have some fun.

  Hey, I was wrong! You actually can sit on your BEHIND and get business
