Always on the lookout for more hot springs, Mike and I camp a night at Sloquet Hot Spring.
We arrive and setup just as the sun is going down. We both freak out a little when the Jeep starts slowly moving backwards while parked on a really steep hill. The strange part is that it’s in first gear and the handbrake is on.

A few tests in the morning show the hill is steep enough to turn over the engine while in reverse.
Good to know.

The hot spring is just as beautiful as I remember; hot water cascades over a waterfall and flows down through a series of pools that start at insanely hot and go all the way down to river level and temperature. Once again we have the spring to ourselves for an evening soak filled with star gazing.

A morning soak is by now a much enjoyed habit.

Mike and I have just visited six undeveloped hot springs in two days! Yep. it’s an addiction icon smile
