Saturday, Oct 16: A Utah Hot Spring to another hot spring….this time in Nevada.
Well, this was a day. No morning hot spring dip because well, it was occupied and we were just tired of too many people here. Last night even more came in…at one time David guestimated there were 20 people either in the spring or waiting around the tub….so much for Covid distancing. We left early and headed west hoping to find a better hot spring. After procuring gas and a quick grocery shop, we headed off to find this hot spring. It was early evening and thinking seriously about turning into night when we arrived as far as we could go. Deep ruts said a big fat no to the motorhome (24 foot jayco) but David took the jeep to see what spring looked liked. AFTER many miles on gravel roads (38+) and a few wrong turns, we were hoping that it was good. Well, David read it wrong and it did say 4 wheel drive needed. It was really only needed the last 1/8 of the way…so we made it far before getting shot down. I read the description and noted what I read to David but he either didn’t hear me or thought it was part of another route which we did not take. I gave up and let him have his way. As it turns out the hot spring was a little more rustic than I would have liked. I asked david if he would have gone in if we could drive up. He said, “After coming this far, I would find my way in.” It was turbid and we had no way of knowing without going in just how hot it was. We REALLY need a hand held digital thermometer where you point and shoot! Dark fell quickly so we decided to stay put in the rv rather than find our way out in the dark…not a big deal but we both had enough.
