"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." Mark Twain

Tuesday August 10





Decided to hit Chena Hot Springs for the day on the way back to Fairbanks. After the intensity of the schedule over the last few days, the hot spring experience might be nice.

It turns out it really wasn’t. The largest pool was pretty nice. You could adjust the temperature by moving to different locations in the pool. The bummer was that there was no way to sit down. Some people were taking the plastic deck chairs and sitting neck deep on them in the pool. That worked but you’d think they’d have a better system. The rest of the pool area was pretty sketchy……in fact, I probably have hepatitis B or something. It only cost 10 bucks for the day so at least I’d be getting a shower for my money, but even the showers were screwy. They actually had natural hot spring water running out of them, not fresh water. Even when you were done showering you still felt gross.

Saw a couple of moose on the way back to Fairbanks. Washed my clothes and the camper and truck there and blogged a bit at the B&N again. An employee there has to wake the same guy up from a chair at closing time every night. The guy falls asleep reading Fantasy Football mags daily I guess.
