Virgin Valley and Boghot Hot Springs 2008

Brent and I traveled many miles through the Nevada desert to get to the Virgin Valley Hot Springs.  We were welcomed by a group of travelers from all over Oregon. I'm not familiar with how many years the group has been coming to the hot springs, but I can guess somewhere around 10-12 years (probably more).
This picture is of a storm coming our way. 
Quick, everyone run for cover.....
Yep, it was definitely a snow storm.  As soon as the wind stopped blowing we huddled in close to the fire.
The next day.... sunshine.  We went for hikes, enjoyed mess cooking, and....
... the hot springs.  Funny, there isn't anyone in the water. 
 
The next day everyone moved to Bog Hot.  This particular place on the stream gets wider every year.  But, with a little work we built a dam and created a reservoir... small, but effective. 
You can see the snow in the background.  Brrr! 
Plenty of fun going on here...
I can't remember who's bug this is, but is sure is cute.
Oh yeah!  Nice and warm.
Cool picture. 
The girls were making beanies for everyone. Refer to the picture above for a fashion modeler....
The kids sure do have fun in the hot water...
... in fact, it's hard to get the kids out of the water to eat....
Another nice picture worth sharing. 
Kids everywhere...
I count 25 in the picture, plus the photographer (me).  That would be 26 for this particular day.  And we had more on a previous day.  I think the cold weather drove some away....
It snowed the final morning.  Brrr!   Brent and I had lots of fun on the vacation.  We'll always remember it...
