Mark's Outdoor Times

Mark is scratching his camping itch this weekend and next. He built a fire pit in our backyard and then we roasted marshmallows and and sat around it. We also went out quading by Lake Pleasant. We were supposed to BBQ hot dogs, but he forgot the propane. We did have our picnic table set up, snacks, drinks and pudding (which you can probably see on the faces of the boys). We rode around some trails and then in the open area the truck was parked in. We took a beautiful drive to Castle Hot Springs.
Okay time for a little AZ history lesson...Castle Hot Springs was the first resort in Arizona, it also was the first telephone number given out, number 1...should I try and call it?? It is called Castle Hot Springs because there are 3 natural pools that 400,000 of water fill a day. It opened in 1896. Many soldiers from WWII came for rehabilitation. JFK stayed for 3 months. There was a fire in 1976 and it has not been an operating resort since then. There are caretakers that live there and will not let you on the property. It is for sale...anyone interested in going in on it with us?? I could definitely soak in a hot spring all day. HEE HEE
