Cougar Hot Springs (Nude)
Added 2024-02-20 21:53:15 +0000 UTCIt's been a long winter.
I love winter, but there comes a point when I can no longer sit still and just imagine. My last client session was in October and my 2024 season starts in March. So essentially 4 months of planning the future, working on the "Healing in Phases" workbook and hibernating.
I keep joking with my husband that I've been sitting in the same spot on the couch for the last 4 months and been all over the world in my mind.
I know, for a fact, that in the midst of 2024 I'll be reminiscing of my hibernation days and praying for a break to breathe. But, as of right now, I'm ready to get moving!
Cougar Hot Springs was my first adventure out of this year. One of my Brand Ambassadors from 2023 was turning 40 this weekend so we planned a trip out to create together! A videographer was supposed to meet us but at last minute couldn't make it. That was fine though cause the hot springs were so incredibly crowded, we didn't have much space to create.
Driving from the Eastern Slopes of the Cascades through McKenzie Pass, over to the hot springs was a death wish that day haha! It was a constant blizzard from the time I left at 7:30 am till I got home around 7:00 pm. But as soon as we got over the pass to the west, it was 43 degrees and the misty PNW that everyone knows.
The Hot Springs like I said were crowded. And, they're also patrolled by a attendant and costs $10 per person with a 2 hour time limit. They allow a maximum of 50 people at a time and when we were there, we were 37 & 38. I was also pretty disappointed by the lack of nudity being a clothing optional hot spring.
Alas, the springs were clean, the people were friendly and we had an amazing time. The water is really why we go and the calm we gained by soaking in those waters was worth every bit of it.
Would I got back? Probably not on purpose, but I wouldn't say no if we were driving past!
