Can anyone tell me anything about Centinella? I know where it is (as far south as you can get and still be in the state...and we've already been to Pelican Bay, which is as far north, etc....making the rounds!) - but don't know stuff like is there a hospitality house with a van? Is there a county or city bus from Imperial or El Centro that goes there? Is visiting crowded or (because it's so far out there) not too bad? Is the weather really as awful as I hear?
Any input would be really appreciated!
Thanks,
- Jane

Thanks eKate -
Where do most of the wives (etc.) live? In Imperial or El Centro? I'm going to driving my daughter-in-law down mid-month and finding her a place to live, but it sure would help if I knew where other women in her position are living. Any suggestions?
Thanks again!

Thanks, Elizabeth! Are there other wives or girlfriends who live in El Centro? I'll be moving my daughter-in-law down there next week and just wonder if you have any suggestions as to where she could find a small apartment in El Centro - or what neighborhoods to suggest we look.

I Think We Live All Over The Place I Would Think That Elcentro Would Be Better Than Imperial. Go To Ezanga.com They Can Do A Search For Apartments For Rent. K
