Saturday, Continued


Finished with coffee, finished with the Wildlife Preserve, now it was on to the Takhini Hotsprings.
The natural mineral waters of Takhini Hot Springs flow from deep within the earth. They are uniquely odourless, no sulphur smell. The main minerals are calcium, magnesium and iron. The iron gives the water a red or brown hue.
There are two connected pools. The water flows naturally into the pool at 340 litres per minute at 40°C (104°F). It gradually cools to about 35°C at the outflow.

Then to the "marge of Lake Labarge", not to cremate Sam McGee but to have a wonderful dinner prepared by Terry. As you could see from the above photo, we had the rain clouds on our doorstep so to speak and did have a steady down pouring on the way home. But have to admit the dinner was a wonderful ending to a very full day. Thanks Terry!
