2013-09 Saratoga WY, Hobo Pool hot springs

Because it was on our way and convenient to wait out the rainy weather, we made our way to Saratoga to check out their free hot springs. The Saratoga Lake campground is a great deal at $10/night. Very hot here in the summer, but we are here for the first cool weather and rain of fall. Saratoga is a charming historic town we have enjoyed exploring, including one visit to the Snowy Mountain Brewery for their little 4-beer sampler. The hot springs are the real reward though, and a very welcome respit to soothe away all the sore muscles from months of hard labor. :-) Met some very nice folks from Loveland CO who come here regularly and gave us good tips on other hot springs. Has been a great stop.

Wanderers and Vagabonds...

The RV started as a temporary solution to afford living in Newport Beach when Mary's company relocated to Irvine, CA. We loved it so much, we decided to make a go of full-time RVing. In July 2008 we hit the road, and have been roaming ever since. We do seasonal work camping and really enjoy it. We also use camp club memberships such as Thousand Trails and Coast to Coast to save on "rent". We have found beauty everywhere we go and hope to continue exploring and enjoying this beautiful country. Here's a great quote which sums up our hope for ourselves and for anyone seeking similar adventures:

“...May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. May your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells, past temples and castles and poets towers into a dark primeval forest where tigers belch and monkeys howl, through miasmal and mysterious swamps and down into a desert of red rock, blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottos of endless stone, and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs, where deer walk across the white sand beaches, where storms come and go as lightning clangs upon the high crags, where something strange and more beautiful and more full of wonder than your deepest dreams waits for you -- beyond that next turning of the canyon walls.” - Edward Abbey
