The restaurant is good and large enough for our group. The little grocery store in the same building as the restaurant and is stocked for campers with plenty of beer and water and snacks and food supplies. We are going to have access to the club house with a kitchen. Bill and I plan on doing a barbecue on Saturday evening at the club house. There is a restaurant at the top of Palomar mountain and restaurant at the end of Mesa grande road at Santa Isabel. Mesa Grande road a one twisty road that is a hoot. No matter which way you ride from the resort your in for a treat road and food wise. This area has enough twisty canyon and mountain roads to keep you entertained for at least 4 to 5 days. You will not be bored I guarantee it.

My favorites in that area are Julian, Sunrise Hwy, Hwy 94 along the Mexican border to Ocotillo wells,The S22 to Borrego springs, just depends on what kind of day trip you want to do.
My wife and I are interested coming from Phoenix. Both are lifetime MGNOC members. Is this bunkhouse deal co-ed? Are bunks single or double? What is the costs?
So here's the latest update from the Norm .... I have rented lucky cabin #13, reputed to sleep up to seven. I don't know how much snuggling that implies. So I'm opening it up to people from out of state, beginning with [Chuck in Indiana] who is rumored to snore. I plan to get up five or six times during the night anyway, so anybody else who can sleep through a storm or sleeps in chapters can have a bunk.
So, when should I show up, Norm? (It'll be fun to meetcha, btw)
I'll be on site Friday morning, probably 9:00. If you pull into town earlier than that I have some living room carpet you can sleep on.
Ok, I'll head down from Redondo Beach Friday morning after traffic (ahem) clears out. Is there some way other than pounding the slab to get to the SD area?
Take the 91 east, most of the am traffic will be westbound(usually). Take the 91 to the I-15 then south till you see the 78. Then to the lake. On a good day (no accidents) 1 hr to 1.5 hr. You can practice your filtering/lane splitting.I know this is mostly slab (welcome to SoCal but FOR ME, its what I would do from the beech cities. The surface streets will be a bad way to go(solid urban sprawl) . Once down south you can get creative, sorta.You should tap randown (you know him yes?) that is his backyard and he might offer a different plan.Good luck!!
Chuck The best route avoiding as much slab as possible from Redondo Beach is to take 405 south to 5 south to Ortega Hwy. take the Ortega thru Lake Elsinore to 15 south to 79 south. 79 is a fun road once thru Temecula and winds thru the lower mountains over sunshine summit, warner springs to 76 where you turn right and go about 4 miles to the Lake Henshaw Resort.
Norm.. you're setting it up. You oughta get the queen. I'll take whatever's left over.
Oh, yeah.. lane splitting is a wonderful thing.
Chuck, be aware that allot of folks will be "taking" the Ortega on a Fri, Sat, Sun, and that's everything from campers to strings of gold wings and HDs+++ ricky racers. Ha!I figured you would just want to get down there while its cool (temp) and ride the area around where your going to stay.My apologies for suggesting the boring slab route. Anyway you go I'm sure you will get to do some splitting (you have to stay in practice), and it will turn out to be an adventure just getting there.Ah the masses......This is true but if he is going east bound in the morning he will miss all of that. Now if he doesn't go until the afternoon there will be more traffic. :-)
I did it for >5 years when I lived in NORCAL. Never liked it...never got used to it...especially while moving....always freaked me out... You really have to STAY ALERT >200% of the time!!! When traffic is completely STOPPED...different story. It's what you get used to I guess. Don't miss that dreadful super-slab traffic out there at all...
