My wife works at Aera, and it is a cool place to get in with, she loves it.
Yeah there was an event at one of the lakes out there. Not sure the name of it though. There is another one coming up at Ski West pretty soon.
Bako-dise is actually out by BV, but I'm not tellin where.
Bako is a great place to live if you can put up with the heat. I dig it.
