Day 17 - July 15-Day Off Liard Springs by Brett


We slept in after a long soak in the hot springs last night. There are two pools, one is about waist deep and the other is about 9 feet. Madison was ill this morning with a headache and upset stomach. I cleaned bike chains and swatted mosquitos. Rita and the others, except Madison, went to the pools for another soak. After everyone returned, we made a short trip over to the nearby Liard River Lodge. The lady at the desk was going to charge us for filling our water jug up. After we bought some expensive groceries ($5 for a quart of milk) she said we could have our water for free. Rita and I shook our heads about her desire to make a buck out of us. After getting our “free” water, we made lunch and then rested in the afternoon, trying to keep cool in our hot tent. We finally had to escape the heat and headed back to some cool spots in the hot pools for a short soak before supper. When we returned, Rita and I cooked up some pasta over the fire. Some of the best tasting pasta we’ve had for some time.
