What's at the end of Zzyzx Road?

This is The old Zzyzx Mineral Springs Resort. This place was in use until 1974.
I thought it was pretty Neat, the water in the pool was nice and cool.
There were some people shooting scenes for a movie when I was there too.

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.

@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.

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."

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.
