According to author Dave Prizio: With a few weeks having passed since my ditching on the way to Catalina, California, I finally had time to calm down and reflect on what happened. It all began with our typical debate about where to fly for lunch. Someone suggested Big Bear Lake, a nearby resort nestled in the San Bernardino Mountains.
