Life of a Degenerate Gambler

I do get off the Mountain every now and then…

By Amber Woods on Thursday, October 20, 2011

Game on Dude winning     Yesterday was a whirl wind fun filled day. It began at Santa Anita in the afternoon with a day of horse racing, amazing food and a few wheat beers. It ended with a night of screaming men chasing me with chain saws.      It was an extremely hot fall day …

An autumn afternoon at the race track

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, October 18, 2011

Last week I drove to Santa Anita after work just to snap a few pictures of some of my favorite race horses. On second thought, maybe I should have stayed home and watched on T.V. Seeing as how, nearly every horse I photographed lost! This is The Factor, named after Bill O Reilly’s popular T.V. …

Its in my blood….

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, October 18, 2011

     When people ask me why I love the sport of kings I say its in my blood. My great grandpa was also a huge horse racing fan. My family migrated across the United States from Boston in the 60’s, and my great grandpa left the hard luck track, Suffolk behind for Lucky Baldwin’s beloved …

Lead me through this gorgeous day of hell

By Amber Woods on Monday, October 17, 2011

    Sometimes when I’m hiking with Alicia I feel like my calve muscles are about to explode. Its not exactly a good feeling, but it means we’re out in the forest hiking and not sitting in front of the T.V. on a seventy degree fall day, probably, knowing us, betting on horse racing, and probably, …

Just another fall day at Walmart

By Amber Woods on Sunday, October 16, 2011

     Because everyone enjoys me ranting about Walmart….     Right?    The other day I stopped at Walmart for two thing’s,      I needed to exchange my heating pad for one that stays warm longer then a minute and buy new ear buds. My old ear buds make me look quite comical as they are so tied …

Hike. Jeep. Repeat. Big Bear's only outdoor adventure guide
Amber Woods
Amber Woods

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear Lake’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest. 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 alpine adventure enabler 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 and a backcountry Snack Sherpa. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
