For all of the San Diegoens(?), you must drive to a unique place less than two hours from home.
(You know who I'm talking about).
Agua Caliente County Park is a desert park with a hot spring. Not just any hot spring either. There's an indoor pool heated to 102 degrees from the depths, and an outdoor pool at 90 degrees for floating around and enjoying the desert views surrounded by the blue sunny skies.
First stopping at Vallecito County Park, where we had a lunch stop, and then a walk around the Stage Coach Station used by the Butterfield Company back in the mid 1850s. No stagecoach today, but great phone and data cell service! (Which disappeared when we headed down the hill to Agua Caliente.)
Then we pulled into one of the almost 200 campsites surrounding the pools. Choices abound from basic no-hookup tent sites, to full hookup sites; we chose the partial hookup with water and electric, parked up against one of the low mountains. Set up our site, while our friends, the Feesers and the Cousins set up theirs.
Party Time! Great conversations, hiking, dipping (in the pools), and for sports -- Shuffle Board and Horseshoes. Winner got the remaining pies from Julian...............We were all winners.
What a place!
