New Years 2002 to 2003

Ainsworth Hot Springs

Driving from Penticton to Ainsworth Hot Springs.
This view is from the lookout over Osoyoos.

We drove through right after a major snow storm.
You can see the snow on the trees, but happily, the sun was out.

Phil and Marg in their own car as they are heading out to Alberta and points north after Ainsworth.

View of the hot springs pool and lake.

The pool from above. Jean and I are in the top right corner of the picture.

A closer look

The caves have much hotter water. Around 40 to 44 C.

Marg walking in the snow in her bathing suit. For her friends back home.

Marg won a tee shirt as one of the door prizes.

Midnight.
Count the glasses on the table.
Someone is happy.

Lots of ugly power poles.
