Last weekend Steffy and I backpacked in to Goldmyer Hotsprings with Ben, Tiffany, and Scott. None of us had been in over six months, and this was Scott's first visit to the Springs themselves so needless to say we were all pumped from the start. On the hike in the weather was ideal and the mountain views were spectacular.

Dingford Creek and Burnt Boot Creek were raging from the recent warm weather, and the Middlefork was easily a foot higher than I have ever seen it . We met the new caretakers and their dog, who left us a nice present at our campsite upon arrival.

Plenty of soaking was had, as usual with no shortage of dong. We were lucky to get the hotsprings to ourselves for a few hours although reservations for the day were maxed out. All slept well and ate well, and we were even able to avoid the wet forecast for the hike out. What a great trip!
