Bagby Hot Springs, Oregon

I neglected to post my weekly list of "Very Good Things" yesterday because I was busy gallivanting around one of Oregon's hot springs.  Bagby Hot Springs is located in the Mt. Hood National Forest just near Estacada.  A hunter found the site in 1880 and it's been opened ever since.  It was recently purchased by a private company that manages hot springs throughout the northwest so there is a $5 admission fee based upon the honor policy.  I spoke with the managing ranger who said he's been  looking out for a fallen cedar to carve at least three new tubs.  I just love that they reclaim fallen wood.

I'd highly suggest a visit. It's just a mile hike throughout the forest and you're there. The hike is beautiful with a very wild ecosystem.  As of now, I am making it a goal to visit as many hot springs as I humanely can this year.

Also, my belated VGT list...
