Marvin's Gardens & RV Maintenance

Today was a pleasant ride - it was short!  We were up at oh:dark:thirty to take the RV in for some service.  We had a rattle in the engine, a poorly performing water pump to be replaced, and a loose slide seal that wanted replacing.  We took it to Beaver Motorcoach and were pleased with their service department.  Another place to which we will return - cool.
After dropping the RV off, we went to the Big Bear Diner for breakfast.  We will NOT be returning there for any reason.  I have never seen a plate of food glistening with the amount of grease that was in front of me this morning.  It was just terrible.  When did it become so difficult to eat out without being poisoned?
We hung out in the resort lounge at the RV park for awhile (I had a little nap) and then got dressed for the mountain bikes.  We headed out on the Marvin's Gardens trail, which is not bad.  It took us up to the upper entrance of the Lair.

This is definitely the way to get here.  Much easier riding.  Jim and I both rode the blue trail named Enter the Dragon.  We rode it so that our tires never left the ground, it was fun.  I'm just not brave enough to start jumping this late in life.
This is the beginning of one of the black trails in the Lair.  Notice they provided some steps so you can get up it.

 

We also rode the Wonderland Trail which was fun. There are some big berms on it, as well as a short half pipe.
It was a good ride.  We got the RV back early in the day, did some laundry, and we have dinner!

Update to post:  The water pump we had installed failed within 3 weeks.  After we had it removed and replaced we discovered it had a manufacturing date of 2001.  That's not a typo.  A trip back to Bend Motorcoach in June 2013 did not result in an apology or a refund.  They did give us a new water pump, but we didn't really need one at this point.  We're not doing business with them again.
