Wanda, our daughter Brandy, Wanda's nephew Wes and I hiked up a nearby canyon today to some warm springs. It is a nice hour and a half hike along a beautiful creek.
Just below the falls Wanda is sitting under in this photo, a number of warm mineral springs flow into the little creek. The water Wanda has her feet in is about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The rock in the canyon bottom is lime pudding stone. It makes a number of potholes and nice pools. I took Wanda here the first time a few years ago. We went back for Mother's Day with Brandy. Wanda was forty then and had never been skinny dipping, in what some might call a public place. Wanda figured it was time; so, she stripped down and climbed into one of the pools. Brandy was mortified.
Today there were about 10 other people enjoying the warm springs over about 100 yards of the stream. With Wes and Brandy there Wanda wore her bikini today.
