Pilgrim Hot Springs

We took an adventure on Saturday. We went on a road trip north to Pilgrim's Hot Springs with Caleb and his wife Sarah. It was about 60 miles away, but the last mlie or so was dotted with deep puddles that our truck couldn't get through (it would have been nice if the guy mentioned that to him when we called in the morning to ask if they were open). So we walked in the last mile.
The area looked like something out of a horror movie. We were joking that it would make the perfect setting, and that we kept getting "signs to turn around" but we were the stupid people in the movie who don't listen to the signs. Once we final found the hot springs, it was a hug bath tub that was dodgey at best. The tub was covered in algae and had boards falling down with rusted nails coming out of them. It was beautiful though with the mountatins in the background.

Today we went to the grocery store and had dinner at Malies. The real excitement of the day was when we tried to leave to go to the grocery store, we found out we had a flat tire. It took a long time to change it because the part needed to get the spare tire out from under the car was missing from the jack kit. Andrew and Caleb had to use some creativity to get a butter knife, pliers and wrench in there to get it out. We'll try to get it patched tomorrow or Tuesday. We'll spend tomorrow at school.

I saw the pictures from the lake and it looks like another great State Fair Night. The food sounded wonderful!

Andrew and I signed up to be the Junior Class sponsor this year. It is a 2 person job, and will give us some money to travel with this summer. We are in charge of planning the Halloween Carnival and the Prom. If nothing else, it will help us meet some people in the community.

No bathtub race for us tomorrow, we weren't able to get a bathtub that had wheels on it. I don't think either of us were dissapointed not to be pushing a bathtub up Front Street!

Happy Labor Day! Erin
