Please enjoy these archival and behind-the-scenes photos of Corbin and I throughout the process of bringing Jacumba Hot Springs Hotel to life—working around the clock, dreaming, envisioning, manifesting, drawing, drafting, sourcing, meeting with countless vendors, making decisions, editing, problem-solving, laughing until we cried, and crying until we laughed.
A special shoutout to Jeff Osborne for believing in this dream and in our abilities. He put everything into making it possible, handling the major grown-up stuff and spending countless hours—and still does—on phone calls, Zoom meetings, spreadsheets, problem-solving, planning, meetings, and everything in between.
The amount of stress, pressure, responsibility, love, and dedication the three of us have poured into this place is indescribable.
This has been the trip of a lifetime. And although it is nowhere near over, it is surreal to look back and see how far we have come. Every drawing from Phase One has become a reality. What once existed on paper, in conversations, and in our imaginations is now a living, breathing place filled with people.
We are endlessly grateful.
