This place looks very neat. I drive the I-15 several times a year when I go to Vegas. I will have to visit on my next trip.

[davidsquall351]

@TmDropper Yeah its worth a couple miles away from the highway. When I was there it was over 100 and the pool felt great :)

I spent a lot of time there before the friggen government came in and took it over again from the insane cult that was running it. Ah well.

[davidsquall351]

Did you meet Mr. Springer?

[NotSoOldHippy]

I believe I was 12 or 13 years old when I met Springer back when Soda Springs was still being sold to people as a "heath spa" and illegal narcotics were pretty common out there -- the 1970's so it was something of a hippie revival. LOL.

You probably noticed that the Desert Studies people have let the place fall in to ruin -- deliberately so. The cabin at Sheep Creek Springs they would not let me rebuild, restore, and clean up the surrounding grounds since they claim it's all "historic sites."

[sexybassplayer155]

what do they do there? or is it even used?

[davidsquall351]

This place used to be a religous spa vacation place. People would come here to soak in the mineral spring water.

Now its used for College Students as a base when they do thier field work/ Desert studies.

I always thought that the place was maintained by the University system?

[davidsquall351]

It is officially operated by the California Desert Studies Consortium, a consortium of 7 CSU campuses: Dominguez Hills, Fullerton, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Northridge, San Bernardino, and Cal Poly Pomona.

I was waiting for you to take a swim!

[davidsquall351]

it was hot that day. I am glad there was water in one of the pools. I thought there would be none.

[bapyou]

Jesus! That place is a ruin. You could do archaeology there. What a mess. Yuck.

[davidsquall351]

" You could do archaeology there. "

lol

[mobiltec]

Thanks for the video. I also have been near there but not to there. I wonder how the pool stays so clean?

[davidsquall351]

Maybe the people at the Desert Studies center keep it up?

[slworking2]

Cool vid. I always stop and take pics of the Zzyzx Road sign at the freeway exit, but have never driven down the road to explore this place...yet.

[davidsquall351]

it's only a few miles from I-15 to the end.
