My last post left you as we exited the pool at Burgdorf, dressed in the warm changing rooms before we sat at picnic tables, inside the small lodge and ate our lunches...Again we took the Warren Wagon Road back to McCall to our little cabin...We donned dry swimsuits and drove south of McCall, through Donnelly, Idaho to
Gold Fork Hot springs...Last year we visited this hot springs but didn't soak...It is a large area with 5 soaking pools, surrounded by rock walls, all different temperatures and again quite crowded...We spent an hour there, trying out 3 of the pools, before deciding we had soaked enough for the day...Changed clothes one more time, took the Farm to Market road back to McCall, stopping at the historic town of Roseberry, continued on to "Ashton Lane" to tour Jughandle Estates, my old stomping grounds.
Gold Fork Hot springs
The last soak
Back at the cabin, after a long day of soaking, we were all famished...Sue and Jan put the finishing touches on macaroni salad and coleslaw and cooked hamburger steaks...It was a yummy dinner, that beat anything we could have ordered at a restaurant...After playing a game of Five Crowns, Jan served her special raspberry pie, ala mode, in celebration of my birthday...Another game of cards before an early bedtime.
Sunday morning we took our time packing, cleaning up in the kitchen before we had a wonderful breakfast at the Pancake House (a longtime restaurant) in McCall...Our plan had been to take one last soak in Mundo Hot springs, but by that time we were all done soaking...Our trip home was uneventful, we arrived in Joseph before dark, tired but content, thinking we would like to do it again or plan another kind of Getaway, another year...So many things to do and so little time...Our general consensus was that we loved our little cabin, and would return to Mundo and Burgdorf, but would only go to Gold Fork during the week, maybe less crowded...All in all, it was a great trip....Hugs To All...OWAV:)
Heading home over the Wallowa Mountain Loop road.

Road weary but still smiling.
