jerry johnson hot springs

almost everyone i told i was doing lolo pass told me to visit this place. glad i did. it was about a mile hike on a very pretty trail. one guy along the way told me some joker always puts a sign that NO clothing is mandatory. ha!

someone (i presume jerry johnson) created semi-natural pools for the hot springs. a cure-for-cancer bike tour full of college kids and i shared the upper one with plenty of room for all. clothing stayed on (they're just kids and don't need the rest of their lives ruined by that!).

some of us did the usual: heat up in the pool, then go to the river and dunk in the ice-melt waters. invigorating! i might have screamed, but only might have, and even if i did, only dogs could prove it.

the bummer is that i drowned my iphone. apple, if you're reading this, please make them waterproof cuz watching the phone die in agony was torture. as much as i wanted to blame my h2o bottle, i know it was my mistake. well crap, now it's a matter of money.
