Life of a Degenerate Gambler

Home of the Thirty Dollar Taco

By Amber Woods on Thursday, December 1, 2011

  Here I sit all handicapped. Well, a lot more handicapped then normal. In a physical way, not in the mental way. My left foot is f’ed up.    My new Teva’s gave me a horribly bloody blister the other day while running through wet mud. It was okay triple bandaged for a few days. …

Obama hates Zenyatta

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, November 30, 2011

     Okay Obama, you’ve really pissed me off this time.     Let me make one thing perfectly clear;    Americans are not ready to eat Quarter horses!     On Nov 18th, while most Americans had turkey on the brain, President Obama had other priorities; making it legal to once again slaughter horses for meat in the United States. …

A winter’s morning; Snow Shoeing and Ignoring my Neighbors

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, November 23, 2011

    This morning, I awoke with a need, I could feel deep in my bones, that I needed to run! But my street is frozen, boo. Last night we received five inches of fresh snow.  So its snow shoeing in my neighborhood it is then. My New Year’s Resolution last year was to get a runner’s high. …

Deer Lick Fall After Noon.

By Amber Woods on Monday, November 21, 2011

       Is this going to ever get easier? I keep asking myself, as I pull myself, huffing and puffing, okay maybe even wheezing a little bit up one of the numerous hills in my neighborhood. I’m not a smoker, and I have lived at this altitude for twenty years, this shouldn’t be this hard …

2N19

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, November 15, 2011

     Well THAT was a heart pounding gut wrenching morning, and it had nothing to do with the four mile run I did up 2N19 with Alicia and Johnny.     The plan was to run four miles total up the dirt road 2N19. 2N19 is the dirt road that kind of follows Green Valley Lake …

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.
