I agree that it would be ideal to try and meet somewhere. If the closure is lifted before then we would obviously return to the springs, but I suspect that even after the first rains it will take some time for the USFS to lift the closure. As the concern is fire danger they may wait till the vegetation start to turn green again. Either way we should start looking at alternative meeting places.
Should we just look at a public park in Apple Valley as had been suggested at one time for our first meeting, or at a clothing optional club? I would prefer the second but I think the cost may be an issue for some, so as everyone shares their feedback on this, they might want to indicate their preference as well. I guess another option would be San Onofre Beach but that is a little subject to the weather. Anyway, just a few options to consider.
