Colorado Waters
On the tip from a local resident, we drove away from civilization is the search for hot springs. These hot springs are called "penny pots".
The idea of a penny pot is a handcrafted hot tub built into the river. As the hot springs flow down into the river some locals have moved the rocks around to form little dams. The dams slow the flow of the hot water, and the cold river water. Where the two waters meet is the perfect temperature for a hot tub style soak.
To soak at a hot spring in town it would have cost us a good bit of money. The beauty of the penny pots is that they are free, out in nature, and not crowded.
It wasn't too long of a drive before we started seeing signs of places to pull off of the road. The first spot was breath taking. The water was winding through the hills, passed a little house, and over some large rocks. It wasn't a hot spring, but it was water!
The water was too nice, and it was calling to me. I had to rip off my shoes and get my toes in. I managed to keep my feet in for about 10 seconds. Once I pulled my feet out...they got even colder. I couldn't help myself so I tried a few more times...still only a few seconds.
After I froze my toes off it was time to hit the road some more. It was only a few more miles before we found the penny pots.
There were a few people soaking when we got there, and it was looking awesome. With the help of our little trailer we all managed to get changed and into the water.
I cannot believe how hot the water was! The river was as cold as ice, and the springs were too hot to even touch. Where the two met in the penny pot...it was perfect.
I feel absolutely blessed that I have had the opportunity to soak in a Rocky Mountain hot spring.
Thanks for coming along on our adventure. We are currently just over 7,000 miles. The journey is still ahead!
That was an awesome river, i miss the river in our province it remind me everything.
Thanks for sharing sir always keep safe and God Bless..

I agree. I have a goal for my family and have found that I am able to hit my goals via vote buying. I also sell my vote. It is really for each to choose. I love that we are able to mine crypto at the same time as creating content.

Yeah, I used to live in Colorado too. It was nice but sometimes 9 months of winter was hard to swallow. When roses are annuals.......well that's kind of hard. It was pretty........:)

Warmer I suppose, but more humid, so sometimes you freeze in the humidity alone. The great Northwest in Washington state up near the Canadian border. We are about 5 miles from the border up at the British Columbia end of things. It is beautiful, although at times the 'gray' that sets in during winter can be a bummer. They jokingly call the western side of the Cascade Mountains, the 'dark side'. On the flip side, during the summer months, it stays light until almost 10:30 at night, and then by 4AM, it's dawn. The first year we lived here, it seemed like daytime went on forever, lol. Have a nice evening/day!

We moved to Northwest Washington. I love the mountains up here, but Colorado is special. We lived in Gunnison Colorado, our living room was at 7,980 ft.
Nothing like the high country 👍
