A Day at Lava Hot Springs

This is a unique little Idaho town. We arrived late Monday morning. We camped next to the Portneuf River, running through the middle of town filled with happy tubers.
We left the squeals and giggles for others and instead took several long soaks in the hot spring pools run by the city. 
The best part of our stay here was that we were joined by our good friends, Mark and Cathy, as they were traveling back to the Willamette valley from Colorado. 
They are driving all of the way home 750+ miles in one day! I can't imagine doing  that. I am glad they have the energy. It was great to have them with us for a few hours. After they left we took another soak in the spings and a wander thru town. The next pictures are from the walk...
This big guy was hanging out in the pool parking lot, I assume waiting for his 2 legged friend. I have not encountered many dogs in shades before. 
The above 2 pics are of a free hot spring along the river just up from camp. It looks pleasant enough but the $5 entrance to the city facility was okay by us. 
Here is the Main Street of this little berg. A good place to add to your "bucket list" is you are making one. 
Now it is time to hit the road. No definite destination, but we hope to see some of western Wyoming for the next few days. 
Happy Trails to all, until we meet again.
