About Me
FORMER Campground host at Heart Bar Equestrian group camp and Wildhorse Equestrian family camp. Returning to my roots as a livery operator going from limousines to horses, a different sort of horsepower. Anyone with trail information or gps trails mapped in the Heart Bar or Big Bear Lake areas please contact me here or at luken@lukenlimos.com with info.
I was unceremoniously fired in August by California land management after putting up with months of uncaring management and poor services. The camps there were never fixed and the water system remain polluted and un drinkable due to simple negligence on the part of CLM. The campers complaints fell on deaf ears as did mine. This seems to be their management style. Other hosts left because of the foul treatment. For more see my website.

Anyone who is interested in opening a private camp up there let me know. I would love to return and do it properly. Anyone with property up there or a similar job please contact me.


I have put together a comprehensive topo map of this area for horseback riding. Still in development but enough trail info to get you good and lost! just text or call 310-621-0663.

Anyone with horses or mules they can't afford to keep or would like to adopt out please contact me. One good lady has offered me a mustang she may be bringing up to the mountain. He and I sounded like blood brothers from her description. I am looking to put together a string of horses or mules for trail rides up here in Big Bear. Anyone with a line on wagons or chuckwagons feel free to contact me too. Livery website is nearly ready to open so don't spit on the floors, shoot the piano player or complain about the water.

Very cool. I wish everyone would do such thorough jobs gps'ing these trails. Eventually I will be able to do the definitive trail map of this area for all my Heart Bar and Wildhorse camp guests! Thanks again. Howard Luken, heartbarhost.
