Awesome 70s era California Rest Stop- worth checking out- bathrooms were very clean with a foot flush.

This rest area is currently under reconstruction renovations and is temporarily "CLOSED" it is scheduled to reopen on January 1st 2011.
I love to stop at this rest area whenever I am traveling from San Diego to the desert or vice verse. It sits at about 3000 feet in elevation so on a hot summers day the temps are usually mild here.
In the winter, it gets a dusting of snow which makes it a nice place to take a drive up the hill and park while taking in the majesty of the cold and icy air.
Like most every other rest area in California this place is no exception, the state has been completey rebuilding our rest areas from the Mexican border to the Oregon trail. I thought that we were broke here in California? It's interesting how Federal and State money gets allocated, dilapidated schools and brand new art deco style rest stops. Yeesh... -

great place to rest on the way home from the desert or the river. It also has a dumping station for your motorhome, problem is, there is usually a line because everyone knows about it. Thankfully, I live close, so I go down during the week and dump..lol Nice place to rest going to or from Arizona too. :)
