Pagosa Springs!!

Last Tuesday Debra and I drove to the beautiful PS to winterize her parents' cabin for them and we just had the best time. We were in the car a lot but we took the scenic route going and listened to Gone Girl on the way back so it wasn't bad at all. Look at the leaves changing colors.... Beautiful!!!!!!































Stopped at Penny's Diner in Vaughn for the best patty melt ever. Period.
























Such a good fun place, thanks for telling us about it mom.

Her father paid for us to stay at a hotel as the only source of heat at their cabin is the fireplace, of which, he was afraid we might burn the place down, :) so we stayed at The Pagosa Hot Springs Resort and Spa and Oh.My.Heavens. Beautiful!!!!! This is the worlds deepest hot springs. Oprah traveled here on her 2006 world tour and I now know why! The mother spring comes out of the ground at 151 degrees then flows to 23 different soaking pools that overlook the San Juan River.
















































You can really see the sulphur in this photo














The temps of these pools range from 83 to 114 degrees. The sulphur content in these springs is very high so although beautiful they were pretty stinky! But you get used to it after a while.

The mother spring















Everyone walks around in robes. If you're a guest of the hotel, the springs are open 24/7











When's the last time you played one of these? Love The Junction restaurant for having delicious food and old-timer games like this! :)







Thanks so much Johnny Peck, this was an experience of a lifetime!!
Love you Deb, I'll take another road trip with you anytime!

Also, shout out to the hubby who held down the fort and took care of the girls the 72 hours I was gone. You're the best!!!

Cheers,
Lindley
