After a wonderful dinner at the Cowboy Dinner Tree, the voyagers headed further into the Oregon Outback to the Summer Lake Hot Springs.  We arrived after dark.  In the morning we woke up to a sunrise and the view you see above.  My oh my what a gorgeous and stark landscape!

This is the original soaking pool, enclosed in an antique barn.  The hot springs come out hot and clear, and with a slight smell of sulfur.

Another view of the hot springs grounds.  There are cabins, trailer sites, and tent sites available at reasonable prices and with access to the hot springs.

After a morning dip, we set out the towels and swim suits on the expedition vehicle to dry.

The entire voyage staff in one of the outdoor soaking pools.  As was fashionable at the time, the males were pale and pasty while the women were tan.
