Fossil Springs Trail Jan. 10th

[chumley]

Ok, so now that the trail is open again, and the dam has been removed, I'd really like to get down there and see how it all looks. Anybody else interested in a dayhike on Saturday?

Because I get up at the crack-of-dark every morning and don't really want to on Saturday, I'm thinking of starting the hike from the trailhead at 11am. (If you're coming from the valley, I'll probably leave around 9:15 and have room to spare...)

This should leave plenty of time to hike down and take some photos, perhaps enjoy a snack or lunch, hike back up, and drive back home in time to watch the Cardinals get destroyed by the Panthers.

I've never been there in winter before, and I'm not planning on swimming this time, but it is technically a hot spring, and 72° will definitely feel warmer than the air temp, so that's an option I guess...

Hmm I might be interested in doing this as I'm turning my Battleship Mtn. trip to Friday so that Rally can make it. Does seem like an interesting area and would give me and excuse to find my swimsuit.

You won't find me swimming in any water that's under 100° right now. Brrrr.

Are you setting up a car pool for this, if so I am interested.

I'm driving, and so far there's at least one, and possibly another friend joining me. But there's definitely room for another.
