## About De Luz Warm Springs

A warm spring beside De Luz Road in the hills outside Fallbrook, in San Diego County. The water is warm, the sort of temperature that feels good on a cool morning and goes unnoticed by afternoon. A 1961 USGS sample found it alkaline and low in dissolved minerals. The owner is not on record and there is no note about whether you can stop and use it.

Low foothills a few hundred feet above sea level. The spring lies right at the roadside on De Luz Road. The road is the approach. Fourteen inches of rain falls over a year, and snow never does. Wildomar Campground is the camping we have on record, roughly ten miles away by our reckoning.

The cooler months are the listed season. Roadside, so the visit is quick. The water chemistry figures are from 1961 and the temperature reading is of the same vintage, so the spring may behave differently now. Neither access nor ownership is on file. Wildomar Campground, ten miles off, is where to camp.
