Descriere
The sulfurous, effervescent waters of Murrieta Hot Springs have long attracted visitors. Native American petroglyph and pictograph images directed weary travelers to the springs where Juan Murrieta later bathed his sheep and a San Diego firm laundered clothing. In 1902, an enterprising German immigrant named Fritz Guenther developed acreage around the springs into a world-class resort and health spa at the Murrieta Hot Springs. After the Guenther family sold the resort, a stream of owners reportedly laundered money for the Teamsters Union and vended cancer cures, vegetarian foods, and holistic philosophies to those who ventured near enough to inhale sulfur rising in thick clouds of steam. Now the springs bubble under the watchful eye of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. They have renovated the grounds and buildings to honor the resort's former glory and have developed it into Calvary Chapel Bible College and Conference Center.

Title: Anyone seen Jimmy Hoffa?
Author: JOHN HUNNEMAN
Publication: North County Times
Date: 11/16/2008
Good Sunday morning to you. We'll be back at The Mill for breakfast today.
Here's a rare chance not only to experience history, but take some of it home with you.
From 2-5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16, the authors of a new book, "Images of America: Murrieta Hot Springs" will be at the former resort, and current Bible college, autographing copies of their latest work.
The public is invited not only to check out the book, but tour the grounds of what once was a world-famous resort and spa.
The book comes from Arcadia Publishing, which specializes in local and regional history books.
Arcadia has previously published books about Murrieta, Temecula, Menifee Valley and other Southwest County communities.
The authors of the Murrieta Hot Springs book are longtime area residents Marv Curran and Loretta Barnett, author and historian Rebecca Farnbach and Tony Guenther, great-grandson of Fritz Guenther, who founded the resort in the early 1900s.
The history of Murrieta Hot Springs is as colorful as any you'll find in this area.
The therapeutic value of the hot springs were known by American Indians for centuries before Europeans came to the valley.
Community namesake Juan Murrieta washed his sheep in the springs. In the 1880s, a San Diego laundry business sent its clothes by train to Murrieta to be cleaned in the spring's invigorating waters.
Fritz Guenther bought the 200-acre property in 1902 and established the successful resort.
Guenther added many of the buildings and other facilities that made Murrieta HotSprings famous.
The resort attracted people from all over, including some of Hollywood's biggest stars, among them Jack Benny and his wife, Mary.
The Guenther family ran the resort until they sold the property in 1970.
That's when things got a little weird.
Subsequent owners are said to have laundered money for the Teamsters Union through the resort. Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa is reported to have been seen there shortly before disappearing in 1975.
About that time, a self-proclaimed doctor of philosophy leased the hot springs and set up a clinic that promised to cure cancer using a diet of lemon juice and water. Desperate patients came from all over, as did the television show "60 Minutes," which did an expose on the clinic that helped put it out of business.
In the early 1980s, the 300-member group Alive Polarity bought the resort and turned it into a vegetarian commune.
The commune lasted a few years.
In 1995, Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa bought the property for use as a Bible college.
Touring the former resort ---- which is on Murrieta Hot Springs Road and usually closed to the public ---- is a rare treat, as is this new book, which sells for $22.
