Day 56: Hot Wells Dunes, AZ


Day 56: Nov 23 Saturday

It is windy and it is cold and it is raining intermittently…this all started somewhere in the middle of last night.  A check of the weather for the next four days reveals that some winter storms are coming in and we have to be careful where we go after this (for Monday night).

The clouds were thick and low all day and night. BUT we decided to check the hot spring tubs to see what was up.  When we checked in the morning (first thing), the water was pretty much gone.  By the time 1 pm rolled around they were filled and the solar pump was still pumping despite ZERO sun.  In we went and I suspect we might have spent two hours soaking; it was either relaxing there or sitting in trailer.  During our soak, it rained on and off so my hair was not quite soaked but very damp.  The reason we got out was that the solar pump that keeps the tubs filled with the hot water had ceased working; it was pretty gloomy out.  We love soaking.
The temp outside today was around 44 degrees but we were warm in the tub!   Oh, we had the tub to ourselves both yesterday and today.
 
We will stay here again tonight as the temps are just high enough to keep from freezing.
