For more pictures, click HERE We had a lazy day today in Thermopolis. First we went to Hot Springs State Park and went into the hot mineral pool for 20 minutes (We were only allowed 20 minutes). Then we went to the pool at the RV Park which is owned by our hotel (Fountain of Youth). I wondered if we would come out looking younger like in the movie Cocoon. We spent the rest of the morning there and met a nice couple to talk to which was interesting. After lunch at McDonalds we drove through Wind River Canyon which was absolutely beautiful and ended up in Shoshoni, WY. Then we turned around and came back to Thermopolis.
What I Learned Today:
· People believe in the healing properties of the mineral springs.
· The sulfur in the water made it smell stinky even if it felt good.
· The actual spring water can be up to 130F.
· Canyons are beautiful to drive through.
