fall color. And if you are not afraid of heights, try Keller<br />

south, and on a clear day, the reflection of the ocean<br />
in the far distance.<br />

Running Springs is a member community of the<br />
Rim of the World, an inhabited stretch of the San Bernardino<br />
Mountains and wholly contained in the San<br />
Bernardino National Forest. The Rim (as it is locally<br />
known) extends from Crestline to Big Bear, a distance<br />
of some 30 miles. Running Springs is served by<br />
Charles Hoffman Elementary in Running Springs, Rim<br />
of the World High School and Mary Putnam Henck Intermediate<br />
School both situated in Lake Arrowhead.<br />
Logging in the San Bernardino Mountains was once<br />
done on a large scale, with the Brookings Lumber<br />
Company operation the largest. It operated on 8,000<br />
acres (32 km2) between Fredalba and Hunsaker Flats<br />
(present-day Running Springs), and extended northward<br />
to Heap's Ranch and Lightningdale (near Green<br />
Valley Lake) between 1899 and 1912. It built a logging<br />
railroad to bring logs to the mill at Fredalba. About<br />
60% of the finished lumber was hauled by wagon down<br />
the steep grades to the Molino box factory in Highland,<br />
CA, which made packing crates for the citrus grown<br />
in the area. The remaining 40% went to the company's<br />
retail lumber yard in San Bernardino. In 1912,<br />
the company dismantled the Fredalba sawmill and<br />
moved much of the machinery to Brookings, Oregon.<br />
