This is the main pool at the Toketee Hot Springs on the North Umpqua River in Southern Oregon. On Wednesday, lemme howdt was there to share an adventure about the good-hearted people of Gaia and how we have to cope with an howdt of touch system that makes somewhat simple tasks difficult at best.
Toketee Hot Springs is in a remote area that required a four hour drive - lemme was riding with cosmic sailor and we picked up the old poet about two bours down the road. The old poet has been going to Toketee for 40 years, lemme and cosmic sailor for 20 years. The walk in is a steep grade three quarters of a mile - crossing the river on a series of planks nailed to a downed tree. There used to be a real nice bridge for public access, but the US Forest Circus decided not to replace it when it got taken out violently in a winter storm. The area has had two major forest fires this century (2002 Apple Fire and 2008). There is a major hydropower project that runs through the area, creating a series of lakes and waterfalls.
The hot springs are a real treat - a very sacred site where powerful energies come into play. Besides the hot springs, the Toketee area feature the blue pool - an ice cold small pool that has been carver by running water into rock. Dr. Lenny thinks that there is a buried pyramid in the area (shh) - it is optimal camping grounds for peace loving individuals. The walk in is worth the walk to sit in the pools and soak out the toxins of urban life.
