We drove to Mammoth Lakes today and rode the gondola up to the top of the ski slopes. It was a glorious sunny, 53 degrees with no wind at the top – a perfect day for spring skiing.
The roads to many of the lakes and trails we wanted to explore are still closed due to snow, ice and avalanche risk. Guess we are a little early in the season despite the lovely weather.
These are hot springs near our camp – scalding hot so we just looked. They are located about 6 miles down a gravel road in a National Forest – definitely “a road less traveled” - and when we arrived there was a big paved parking lot and 6 restrooms! Our tax dollars at work!
We read about this hot tub out in the middle of nowhere in a blog that Roger reads so we decided to check it out this evening! How fun! Someone took PVC pipes and directed the hot water into a pool made of rocks and cement. You can turn a valve on the pipe on and off to control the amount of hot water that flows through the tub. We enjoyed talking with two couples and a trucker! Glad they weren’t nude!!!
