Wanda at the hotpots 9_21_08.jpg

Today we went for a hike up a local canyon to an area with some warm mineral springs. It is a beautiful 3 mile hike up the canyon on what was a perfect Fall day. Most weekends there will be a few other hikers enjoying the warm waters.

The Forest Service has signs on the trail warning people they may find nude bathers; so, this is no place to be if you're shy and bashful.

While we were sitting in the water a snake crawled onto the rock right behind Wanda's head. Of course she had to make friends with the serpent.




Here is a picture looking down into the pools.

I think I might speak for many of the Wanda's Pbase fans when I say that this is a shot that clearly depicts the inequities of life... these bathers, who were probably not fans of Wanda (till this day), got to see a lot more of her then those of us that have followed your journey's over the years... that's life for ya... :) Jv

Have to agree with Bob that Wanda's loyal fans are denied what random hikers/hot-pot-bathers get through dumb luck. I know sometimes life is not fair, but come on! Hopefully one day Bill can share his most private pics with Wanda's adoring fans. Anyway, Wanda looks fantastic, as always.

Great shot, even in casual shots, Wanda looks magnificient! Would love to have been a fly on the wall for this one (or snake on the rock as the case may be!)

BTW, Lucky hikers!

I have to say that I think this is completely unfair! We poor sufferers wait and wait for all of these outstandingly creative shots of Wanda, and this would have been another one! But to know that Wanda has bared her purity and nakedness to two other males, who we do not know, and we loyal admirers still have to wait and suffer, is entirely unfair!!! I am crying too, and I wasn't even there!!! Shame on you, Wanda!!! (grin). Bloody lucky snake is all I can say, too!!!

How nice of the perfect photo prop to show up like that.... hope you too lots of other shots of Wanda and the snake.

Great sequence!

After following this series for a couple of years, along with many other people it appears, this is one of my favorites. Publish the dates you plan to make the trip and a big party would be had at the hot pot. I think we need to buy PBase and rename it Hot Pot so that Wanda would not be so shy and bashful here! :-) Seriously, thanks for all of your life that you share!

This the ultimate expression of beauty. I would like buy you two a bottle of wine and hear more about this place and your experiences there. Who are these other two guys?

As always.....thanks for sharing with us!

Bill,
How do you get Wanda to do this? My wife is reluctant even when it is just the two of us!
Steve Mastellotto22-Sep-2008 22:43
Bill, I keep telling you that you need to use a polarizing filter for this type of shot .

The bald guy is wiping away his tears of joy! Not every day that your dreams come true!!

My wife and I were at the same hot springs just last month. Too bad we missed each other....Iwould love to meet the beautiful Wanda.

Wish I could have been there!!! What a beautiful woman Wanda is!!!!!

I just called "Snake Depot" and ordered one of those gopher snakes for my hot tub.
VerymarriedV 22-Sep-2008 03:20
Damn, those two lucky guys got to see what the rest of us guys (and probably a few gals as well lol) have been dreaming about for all of these years. By the way, is that bald guy wiping his eyes, or is he taking Wanda's picture?????
