FYI- Cal and Ros (owners) throw a great Halloween 3 day weekend long party at the Glamis North Hot Springs every year. They will have live music at the pool, a haunted house, costume contest... If you haven't made a reservation- get on it! If you get a group together and call Cal he might even give you a special deal. http://www.glamisnorth.com/The pools will be filled, the hot tubs ready, the restaurant open, kids moto track, RC car track, ice, propane, firewood all available, full hook-ups and great riding... Something for everyone! If you haven't yet made it to the park- try it out.

I've been there a couple times, its a great family place to camp in the desert (not close to Glamis, even though the name)

Great place to camp & ride. They need bigger fire pits though.

Oh, great... now EVERYONE knows about this hidden gem! ;)

I will provide the drinks! :)

Thanks Dave. 4 hours on Friday heading east isn't too bad really.

Halloween will depend on if I'm riding LA B2V Thanksgiving, if so probably stay home.

By the way, Halloween is definitely a no-go for us. It's a big deal in our neighborhood and we'd never miss it.

Great place to camp and ride but we have never been on a holiday. Do they raise their prices for the holiday weekend like some other campgrounds?

How long a drive is that for you Dave?

The drive there seemed to take forever on a Friday evening, like at least four hours. I think my GPS sent me on a goose chase though, trying to avoid the heavy traffic.

The drive home was more direct but not a good measure for the drive time. It was pouring down rain and the main road was flooding out at every dip. We saw a Cal Trans truck going the other direction to close the road behind us. It was actually pretty hairy. The crossings were so high that we actually had muddy water in most of our cargo holds. I don't think that was a typical storm though.

Other than that, we had a great time there. And the Roman Baths weren't as, ahem, weird as they sound. No gladiators.

Thinking about this,
Need to find a new rig first.
Need to get My Sciatica problem solved.
October is pretty full already, but I will work on it.

Not sure on the drive time, but K J's place isn't too far from there. 3-4 miles according to google maps.
