In a Small Town

By Amber Woods on Monday, October 8, 2012

   I saw a UFO once.     Okay you can laugh now. Go ahead, have a good old laugh at the red neck girl who lives in the hick mountain town and has seen a UFO.  That sounds so typical, right?    I was eighteen at the time of my UFO sighting. I didn’t drink, …

Some days I Feel Like I’m surrounded by Assholes

By Amber Woods on Thursday, October 4, 2012

This is what I suspect Obama Care Will be Like…

By Amber Woods on Friday, September 28, 2012

     You know you’re in San Bernardino when the guy next to you is watching wrestling En Espanol on his smart phone LOUDLY. Like so loudly I can not concentrate on my Anne Coulter book. When I can’t concentrate on her narcissistic take on liberals you know what? I get a little annoyed. I just …

About Me
Amber Wood
Amber Wood

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest and I have basically been out exploring hiking trails and enjoying the wilderness as long as I could walk. I have had some amazing adventures out here in the gorgeous San Bernardino Mountains over the years. As a hiking guide who is passionate about the wilderness, I love to share my knowledge of our vast trail system with vacationers who also love the great outdoors. Looking to book a hiking excursion? Email me at Hungrymountaineer@gmail.com for the best locals-only hikes available in this mountain wilderness. I am passionate about finding my balance in life – healthy living, great food, outdoor fitness, traveling adventures, working hard and my unbridled love for racehorses and naturally, gambling. When I’m not exploring news trails or betting on the ponies you can find me either coming up with healthy new recipes or blogging about the adventures my trail pup and I had in the wilderness this week. I have spent most of my life exploring what these mountains have to offer and locals would call me an expert. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures in my blog on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
