Halloween, Guadalupe Canyon 2008
Last Halloween was our final trip to Arturo's Campo #1 at Guadalupe Canyon... I fear it is all over after so many great trips there because of the
hostility of Arturo's brother (who runs the camp on the other side of the canyon) in cutting off the water to Arturo's camp... as well as failing
health and old age.
We joined Hotschott and Val for dinner on Halloween last year...

Good news... please report back after your trip!
Which camp site do you like in there? We like La Jolla B and Hotschott likes La Paloma.

I always get San Marcos and sometimes El Sol, I like San marcos better, it has it's own toilet last of privacy and lost of parking, this is the most
expensive of all the camps..

Well David hold your thoughts on this one, I was trying to reserve my spot in the canyon and I got this e-mail from Rob.
"Thank you for writing, Campground is closed.
No longer making reserations. Problems
with family, bad roads, wild fires, crime have
forced us to shut down all operations".

Well... that is it then... TOO SAD/ TOO BAD! Maybe Rob should take down or edit the web site to reflect this?

You could just drive in there and see if Arturo has something...? If not, stay at one of Ernesto's sites (Ernesto is Arturo's brother who holds title
to the entire canyon and has the less than private campsites across and above Arturo's...
HERE IS ERNESTO's WEB SITE (for reservations, etc.): http://www.guadalupecanyon.com/gc/

Thats what I will do david, Im thinking that the camps don't have water, maybe thtas the reason why,Bad roads, thats a never ending problem we know
that thats not a problem, i don't know what he means by crime. I toll him allready about leting people know about the problem, the website still up..I
send a e-mail to Ernesto to se what the situation is on his camps...
I was thinking in a quick trip to the canyon just to see in person what is true and whats not.

Sounds like they aren't too eager to have a thriving business... Can all of you fit into fewer cars if the rate is $50: night: car?
I think an exploration back to Agua Caliente Canyon (Valle Chico) is in order to see if they were able to develop something there!
The volume of super hot water is huge... the problem is the spring is only a few feet higher than the canyon floor, so no way to gravity feed it to
camp sites without a pump.... and if the sites are too far down the canyon for gravity, then the water will lose too much heat...

David only 4 people are allowed per car, any extra people is $10 each and they do not accept walk-ins, you must reserve ahead of time.... Im still
going but Im going to pay the high price..

Wow... okay... wow... $500 to camp for 2 nights... in the same spot? How about renting several campsites (next to each other) so you get more hot tubs
to use.. for the same money?
If you can, walk or drive over to Arturo's side of the canyon and check out the conditions... See if Arturo is there... and report back for us!
Have fun!
