The structure served first as a mess hall for road crews and then as a variety of restaurants.  Known as Bud's Cafe it was the first eatery in Borrego Valley.  The restaurant was originally operated by George (Bud) Kuhrts. For several years it was the site of the Red Ocotillo Restaurant which relocated in 2008 to the Palms Hotel at Indian Head.
  • Borrego Springs has a Yacht Club.  Some of the residents at Montesoro (Rams Hill) have purchased remote controlled model sail boats and created the Borrego Springs Yacht Club.  They get together regularly and sail their boats at one of the lakes at Montesoro.
