The Great Alaskan Adventure

We had planned that Colin and I would leave the campsite early as Colin wanted to backwash the black water tank. The dump station was at the entrance to the park so we agreed that we would wait there for Ed and Frances to join us. They were going to take their dog swimming. We were all done and waiting just outside the park when we get a call for help from Frances. They had tried to put their slide in and something clunked %&$#@!!....next thing the slide won't go all the way in and the whole thing is sitting off alignment. We asked nicely to go back into the park and found Edward under the trailer trying to adjust the slide. After some fiddling they finally did get it to go in. We figure there was a little rock or something in it that was setting the whole thing off level.

We were late getting away but we headed up to the Chena Hot Springs Resort. We found two spots fairly quickly and then set up camp. Everyone quickly got changed and headed for the Hot Springs........Ahhhhhhh! There is one man made pond surrounded by rocks with a gravel bottom, the water comes directly from the Hot Spring and is not treated. There is a large fiberglass hot tub outside which is chlorinated. Inside there is a swimming pool and two more hot tubs, all treated. It was $10.00 each to get in but that was from 7:00 AM to noon the next day. We took full advantage and went in again just before bed time. These hot springs are great but they are so relaxing you have a hard time walking back to the trailer without falling asleep.....Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z
