Piru is not a small, quaint lake that you use to hit up another side of the lakeshore, and dock your speedboat in your friend’ slip, or quickly get on your jet ski to visit another friend’s cabin, 1/2 a mile away from yours. I’ve spent weeks long vacations at Arrowhead, Big Bear and as a kid, the Catskills. Huge bodies of water, all of them, but not all as unique as Piru, in that Piru, was a place to hit up on weekends, and only for a weekend, with tents or an RV, etc. Most people go their with their boats.m, too. Either pulled by a big ass truck, or the RV. Lots of young kids, as in teens in HS, college, and young adults. It is a place to go to with 20 of your friends, and the biggest group event 97% or more that is pursued? Drinking. And drinking all day, all weekend, until you finally drive home on Sunday afternoon.
Arrowhead, Big Bear & the Catskills were family environments, where the family went every year and rented the same cabin and had access to the water-crafts at the cabin, or brought your own. There’s partying, but it’s not like Piru or Castaic. More varied and mellow crowd.
Pontoons at Piru usually = a Saturday or Sunday, MAYBE the weekend, lots of weed and beer, & grilling. Speed boat at Lake Arrowhead usually = 3 to 7 day stay, rented cabin, or family cabin, no booze bottles, or bongs, no loud music, politeness & discretion.
Piru = partying on the weekend with a bunch of friends. Arrowhead = close family members and/or, a few close friends.
I have no idea why Naya was out in Piru, all by herself & no other adult, & her small son. I’d do that with my kid at Arrowhead, not Piru. Also, no risks or chances regarding life vests, ever. Lake people know this, even flat-footers who live down the mountain know this. People do drown, regularly, and you hear about it all the time.
I cannot understand the location, the isolation, the lack of adult company, especially a male, when at Piru in a Pontoon, & you take your phone or a walkie. That’s normal, & not weird. The pontoon probably had one, plus some sort of rudimentary yet effective GPS.
Why was her 4 year old sleeping? Almost peacefully & unafraid, when located in the pitch black night, in the middle of a cold lake? Was he given a sedative that allowed him to sleep peacefully? And where exactly did mommy go, and what does the boy mean, when expressing “she left and didn’t come back on the boat” paraphrasing.
Her latest and last IG post specifically says: “Just the 2 of us”. She & the boy appear to be in the sunlight, and have wet hair, wet skin, & look as if though both had been just jumped out of a pool or a body of water, after full head to toe immersion, right before the photo was taken, by a phone she had in her car, that she specifically did not want on a pontoon, alone with her son, on a weekday.
