Join your CMG brothers for a fun and healing weekend in the Eastern Sierra of California.
We will be meeting at Keough's Hot Springs starting at 2:00 pm on Friday, October 12th. The area is roughly equidistant from Los Angeles and San Francisco. We can discuss our itinerary once we all get together. Possibilities include shopping and dining in nearby Bishop as well as exploring some of the the noncommercial hot springs in the Mammoth Lakes area. Nighttime activities may include a movie in Bishop, a heart circle, and/or a heavenly clothing-optional communal soak in one of the several warm natural pools on the road to Keough's H. S. The views from the Eastern Sierra are incomparable as are the wide variety of nearby hot springs.
Keough's Hot Springs is at the end of Keough's Hot Springs Rd., which is 7 miles south of Bishop, CA on Hwy. 395. From the S.F. Bay Area, you can take 580 to 205 to 5 in Manteca, to 120, which connects with 395 in Lee Vining. From Southern California, 15 connects with 395 in Hesperia. Here is a summary of the accommodations at Keough's H.S.: Camping: $28 - $33 per night (max 6 people in one space); Tent cabin: $110 - $125 per night (max: 2-3 people) ; NOTE: The Modular Cabins are not available that weekend.
Places to stay include the several options above at Keough's Hot Springs as well as several hotels and motels nearby in Bishop. We encourage you to check out what's available at Keough's website, http://keoughshotsprings.com/lodging.html and let us know your preference. We have already reserved Tent Cabins 1 and 2 and 4 for Friday night through Sunday night.
WHAT TO BRING: Snacks; comfortable shoes; a re-usuable water container and sun protection (sunscreen, sunglasses and hat). Also, you'll want to bring a bathing suit and sandals or flip-flops (while many of the noncommercial hot springs are clothing optional, a bathing suit is required at Keough's). Finally, consider the possibility of rain and cold nights. Average temperatures for nearby Bishop in October at that time are a high of 85 and a low of 45.
