Day 8 - June 15th



Well waking up having no feeling of seediness was something different. We went shopping and stopped off at the photo shop to have a look at the rafting photos. It was a series of 5 and can be seen on the photos page. We watched the video and it looked very lame.Jackson The waves looked almost small when compared to sitting in the raft hurtling towards them with no way to turn back. Our destination toady was Nah-Soo-Pah springs some 250 miles away, just before the Idaho/Nevada border. Snake River, Idaho Idaho is a less than exciting state to drive through. Lots of potato farms as we followed the snake river for some time. We finally made it and had an instant reason to worry. The sign said intoxicated persons will be escorted off the property. Bummer dude, looked like most of us would be sleeping on the road. So we hit the springs. It had a decent sized swimming pool, a spa and a soaking pool that was shit hot. Only supposed to stay a max of 10 minutes in it. I suppose it might have cooked you. We had fun going down the slide and some of us practised our diving skills. It looked like Adam was in training for Sydney 2000. We had some dinner and a few brewskies, then went down to watch the sunset.

An Idaho Sunset We thought Jana was hunting rabbits or something as she was crawling around in the scrub (but after I was emailed the photo I can now understand why, great photo). It was cool and windy and I still had my wet swimmers on. There is no need to extend on my description.....well actually : ) After the sun went down I made a run for the pool to defrost and then we mellowed out in the soaking pool until we were loose as gooses or is that geese.



Back to NorthWest Page or on to Day 9.
