Catavina hotel ( not the old La Pinta )?
Gotta make a spur of the moment trip to the USA and will drive back down. Looks like the Desert Inn is booked on the day I pass through Catavina.
Anyone know if that other "flea bag" hotel is open? The one on the opposite side of the road just before the old La Pinta? any info appreciated.

There is a Motel on the right side after the La Pinta Hotel going north, they usually are not booked up.

Yeah, that's the one! I stayed there a couple of years ago but on my last drive south in late '06 it wasn't open. Was curious if anyone had been
through there recently.

Rancho Santa Ynez??
.7 of a mile south of La Pinta, east side of the highway - then head east on a gravel road. We've stayed in the "bunk house" a time or two - cheap
& clean.
Top red dot (quite faint) of the attached image is La Pinta along Highway 1, turn off - Rancho Santa Ynez in at the right edge of the image, north of
the runway. Follow the dots!

Just remember that C is for hot water and H is for cold water and the generator goes out at 9:30-10pm, bring a flashlight.
