Nice WY state park around the natural hot springs. Went to the free bath house for our 20 minute allotment in 104 degree waters. Felt great! Walked the springs boardwalk after.
TravelerFeels good on the aching body & is tolerable outside in the wind. But the sulphur smell is not something you want us to bottle up. 🙍💩
Bluebutterfly😯 I guess not...sure you guys did not have beans and cabbage before you went?

BluebutterflyGood for you! So glad you take a sensible approach. Better to enjoy from a distance. But it shows Jehovah put it in us to want to be close to his creations and enjoy them up close and personal. Just some forget they are WILD animals.

Can't forget the birds.... even though the larger animals seem to be the draw to the park.
