The highlight of October is a "getaway," for me and "4 days alone" for Herb, no honey do list, he can do only what he wants to do...But he did rake more leaves and keep the home fires burning, eating hamburgers, until I returned home to cook.
On Wed. Oct 23, 5 ladies, 2 cars (packed with all the necessities) for a 3 night/4 day trip to soak in as many hotsprings as possible, left Joseph...The 39 forest service road was still open and we were on our way shortly after 8am...It was clear, cold and sunny...Perfect!..Our first destination was Zims at New Meadows, Idaho...Unknown to us they decided to go on "fall hours" and didn't open until 4pm, so we changed plans, got to our little cottage mid afternoon, settled in, before all piling into one car and were off to Gold Fork, to soak until dark...The main pool at Gold Fork is big and hot!...The day crowd (lots of kids) was beginning to thin out, so we had plenty of room to just soak up the heat...Nothing feels better, after many hours in a car!..Average temperature in that pool was over 104º, depending on where you were, and it has a ledge to sit on, that gets your upper body out of the water...It is heavenly!..Back at the cottage, we ate soup and ice cream before calling it a night.
Thursday morning, a short driving tour up to Brundage ski area and then a morning in the thrift shops, where we all managed to find a treasure to bring home...A late afternoon soak at Zim's, not our favorite, but an easy drive to get there...To be continued....Hugs to All...OWAV:)
Ready for adventure.
Over the loop road.
Real Autumn Colors.
