Adventure 401: Crystal Hot Springs, Honeyville, Utah/Post A

Great spot! Worth the trip.

The only thing that could have made our stop in Park City better would have been a Zag victory over North Carolina. Alas, they fell just short. My cousins, Douglas and Joan, made every effort to make our stay excellent. We left Park City this morning a little after nine. We drove Interstates 80/84/15 down through Ogden bypassing the heavy traffic through Salt Lake, which because of the blue sky sunny, excellent canyon views, and light traffic we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We merged with Interstate 15, and had to play with the big dogs for awhile, and arrived in the little hamlet of Honeyville a little before noon. During lunch, the Wiley Cager proceeded to beat me in the first game of the Crystal Hot Springs open (Drat!). Then we soaked in the exquisite hot tubs of the springs. Crystal Hot Springs, a well run operation,  includes three hot, hot pools, a hot kidney shaped pool, an olympic sized pretty warm pool, and a huge enclosed water slide. Besides that, the owners are building a huge building which will house a large indoor pool. It should be completed by summer. I soaked twice during the day, but Judy isn't quite as dedicated  at hot tubbing as I am. I'll go for three tomorrow. The weather, while dangerously cold (For fruit trees) tonight, promises to warm up beginning tomorrow. The next storm front arrives on the weekend. This means we'll get to get back on the bike. This area hugs the Wasatch Front, and the nice roads that connect the small communities around here lend themselves to excellent riding. So in that sense, life is good. We're getting eager to get home, but both of us are trying not to rush the process. We plan to spend three days here, the weekend with our friends, the Hooley's, and a couple of nights in Boise after that so we can meet young Miss Celia Ulmen. After that we'll meander home with one last night out, and we'll arrive home Monday (Or Tuesday) after Easter. All of this is God willing, of course. In the meantime, we'll simply live the fact that life is good, especially today.

 The reservoir just passed Rockport State Park, not far below Park City. 

 Easy drive, beautiful scenery, and traveling mercies. Life is good.

 Frac, nestled in site #25, right next to a fast growing alfalfa field.

 There goes my hot tub babe.

 The Wasatch Front, awesome.

Same mountains, ninety degree turn. No wonder people live here.
