We are, to some, in a very remote area and even though, also to some, the Wayside Inn and the residents look tacky. We aren't tacky, we are dusty from a wonderful ride in the desert or just back from fishing in Alamo Lake. We hear coyotes at night, we have a roadrunner that lives in the park, we have cotton tailed rabbits that come and feed in our yards and from time to time we see deer, elk, bob cats, cougar, havelina, and many species of birds. There is a lot of what I call "park pride" in the caring and sharing of our neighbors. On full moon nights us "Waysiders" ride our ATV's ,etc., travel out in the desert, build a fire and have a big weiner roast and watch the moon rise up from behind the mountain. Carl and Cindy were gone for awhile, but are back, and along with CJ and Chris, it is a great, and friendly place to live and also have a meal. We love it here at Wayside and just wish that the visitors would be more diligent about not littering, cutting donuts in our roads, cutting across the desert instead of staying on estblished roads and trails and trashing what is and was part of the history of this area. Wake up visitors, what is destroyed is gone forever! We own and live in a park model trailer at the Wayside Inn park, and we have been residents here for the past 10 years. We are, to some, in a

Our family has been fishing and camping there ever since I can remember. My father retired there in the trailer court in 1998. He passed away in 2002 and we kept the trailer until last year when Carl & Cindy sold it. My uncle lived there awhiletoo, but the heat and isolation were not for him, he moved to Prescott when Dad died.We had many good times there, and we still have family get-togethers at the lake.We hunt, fish, and explore there to this day.. Thanks so much for writing about this special place! The Wayside Inn has been a very important part of my life for over 20 years.

And so are you, as a person - very rare. Quite a character, and I always smile reading your essays. You have become a fixture, and I bet you always wanted to be a fixture, right? At any rate - just wanted you to know that you really count, that you leave footprints in the sands, make ripples. With a remote but sincere hug - Eb Although I don’t comment but a few times in the past, I really miss hearing from you, which is very rare!! And so are you, as a person – very rare.

The houses you mention going up the Santa Maria are my Grandfather's and Fathers on the Grapevine Springs Ranch. We are going there for a family reunion. The cave you mention in the bluff past and above the houses was made from water runoff from the higher desert. I've been in it several times as a teenager and my initials are carved inside. There is a helicopter pad right on the river about a mile past the houses with some hearty springs within walking distance if you are ever out that way. I found your website on a google search.
