Bad news – they really did weld the spring tub shut at Reds Meadow. It’s got this metal plate and there’s no way to get in. Damn! I hope they had a really good reason. I have decided to sit in the gnarly slimy rotting floaty stuff part of the spring because. It’s hot.
This kicks off my birthday week Sierra hot spring 90-miler. I will be walking through a storm that’s coming in, so it should get interesting. I dream of being in a hot spring when it’s raining or even snowing on me. At least it’s mostly ON trail this time. 😉
While I’m waiting for van parts in the mail, this is how I do. I’m in my happy place.
