I’m really digging the hot springs …
It’s been a trip so far full of adventures, and things that are new to me. After Mercey Hot Springs and seeing dear friends in Idyllwild, we drove on I-10 through Arizona and New Mexico, and stopped for a brief soak at El Dorado Hot Springs, in Tonopah, AZ. It was great - we had a private pool, and we spent a nice hour in the early evening before heading back on the road for a stint.
We then stopped at the Triangle-T guest ranch, in Texas Canyon in the Dragoon Mountains in AZ, just looking for a place to stay for the night. It has a lot of interesting history (including being a place where Japanese officials were interred during WWII.) We had to go into the saloon to find out if they had any room for the night - it was full of people in cowboy hats dancing to country music.
After that, we went onwards and stopped at Faywood Springs, near Silver City NM. We spend most of the afternoon and stayed in one of their cabins overnight. Very sweet place, and some really nice soaks.
I’m getting to really like hot springs, but sadly, they don’t really exist outside of the part of the “Ring of Fire” that’s in the Western US.
