Just a sidenote:
In my last incarnation there was this roadhouse called the elm Tree Inn in Keene NY, in the Adirondacks. The owner started telling everyone he was getting married, which was a joke. Outside the Inn there was this huge elm tree stump. Probably 20 feet high. When the wedding never happened someone came down with a crane and put the guy's jeep on top of the stump which made national news.

Hey Lumatic. I've passed this stump and the tree that sat atop the stump countless times. I went to College in the Adirondacks. I remember reading many years ago that it was the largest American Elm in the country. Can't speak to the accuracy of that statement but it was a "BIG TREE". The Inn adjacent it is was aptly called the Elm Tree Inn. Beautiful country up there but can get awfully buggy in the summer.

Sounds like all correct to me for post 720! The date on Heather's picture is misleading. It was a quiet MONDAY morning June the 20th early enough for lots of parking. We had overnighted there.

The tree and stump are now gone. But I think the Elm Tree Inn is still there. Elm Tree Inn was the haunt of bobsledders because the Mt. Van Hovenburg track was just up the hill.
Last I heard you could still take a tourist version of the bob run which starts a little lower on the track and uses 1930 vintage bobsleds.
No one can truly say they are an outdoors man until they have survived Adirondack blackflies.

Half way between the funny farm and the loony bin?
It is a fictional town in Colorado
It is a real area in Colorado
It is a reproduction western town located in the real town most people believe the fictional town is based on.
Grandjean it is!. There are also some cabins along with the campground which is called Sawtooth Lodge. There is water and electricity at the campground, but the electricity is from a generator and there is not enough juice to run your AC. If you are looking for an off the beaten track spot not to far from Boise this is it.
Woo Hoo! Winner winner chicken dinner!

Since Lumatic brought up hot springs here is another hot spring. This privately run place boasts natural hot springs and a campground in a beautiful setting along a river. What is the name of the hot spring and what is the name of the river?

No guessers yet? This is a wonderful place and one I would highly recommend. It's in the Northwest.

Not sure which is worse. The blackflies or the old woodsmans fly dope to keep them away. They are the pit bulls of the insect world. You can also take a trip up to the top of the ski jumps. Have never done it myself. The Adirondacks are great country.
Thanks for reminding me.
