Norma's Wanderings around a small section of Montana |
It's a few days into OctoPrep and all seems to be working well. People are writing, people are posting, the cheerleaders are awarding GPs for exceptional behavior. And I am out of town for a much needed break. It's our anniversary. We are at Chico Hot Springs. This place is great. If you ever get a chance to stay here, by all means do so. https://www.chicohotsprings.com Chico has been the place to go since 1900. Natural hot springs feed 2 pools with wonderful hot water. The pools are not treated with chemicals, and are drained every night and refilled each morning. The small one is about 104° and the large one about 93°. Last night with the temperature in the high 40s, it was nice as can be. There is a nice lodge, cabins, even Conestoga wagons you can rent. The dining room serves excellent meals, but there is also a casual grill and a saloon. And you're not all that far from Yellowstone. Perfect place in the heart of the Paradise Valley. As I sit here it is sunny, bright blue skies and a nice breeze. The temperature today is about 60°. A beautiful fall day is upon us. So while hubby is out fishing in the nearby Yellowstone River, I am enjoying some down time. No TV, no phone, no barking dogs next door. Just nature. Lovely. |
