Goldmyer Hot Springs

We finally made it and we don't really want to go back again.  As a scout I had my first opportunity to venture out to Goldmyer.  It was a great adventure, our scout leaders drove fast on an unimproved road and we had to ford a river with snow on the banks.  What more could you ask for in a camping experience when your young.

Well after some flooding in 2006 or 2007 some of the road out to the site washed out and now the fun drive has been cut short and you have to hike for four miles just to get to the trail head.  Four miles isn't a lot but its not worth going to a hot springs that was packed with a bunch of nudies.

I had the great Idea to bring bikes to help make the trip shorter.  Well, there were four of us and only two bikes, well more like 1.5.  My mom's bike has seen better days and both Angela and Hannah gave up on it a little fast.  So to counter that I had Hannah and Angela take turns riding on my handel bars.  It didn't work out as well for them as I had hoped but it still made for a fun experience.

Angela had never been there before so I wanted her to see what it was like.  Now we can check that off our list of things to do.  It would have been better if we had chosen to go on a non holiday weekend and we all had bikes.  So if you want to go, bring bikes.
