Astoria Hot Springs

On the road again! Headed for a looooong soak in Astoria Hot Springs, then a few miles more to Jackson and the Tetons. 

Astoria has 5 pools, all about the same temperature, 102 degrees. Much easier to soak here and get a tan (burn). My belly turned bright pink like the trout! Awe gosh. I might finally be tanked up on my vitamin D. 

The RED double ‘N’ trestle  bridges that cross the Snake River are the signature of the Astoria Resort. 

After our soak, we headed up to Jackson. OMG! Not the Jackson I or EM remember. She was almost in tears. She lived and worked in up the road in Wilson. Jackson is pure, grade A number 1 tourist town! Shivers up our spine after a month of mostly peaceful, backwater, mild-mannered towns. Felt like NYC, not a mountain town. 

We stop at a few art galleries and bike shops, then fight traffic for an hour to go 4 miles to our, *sigh* peaceful campsite in the woods.
