Attended services here and met the pastor, Brad Chaney. The Church was doing well, having just resolved their Federal Vision issues. Left Boise after services and headed up toward Atlanta.
First stop was Loftus Hot Springs. Right on the road, but elevated above it, so one can't see it from the road. Partook of the waters here, and they were very good. There are many, many hot springs along this road to Atlanta.
Next stop was Chattanooga Hot Springs.
Chattanooga Hot Springs is a great soak, right next to a river.
The source is up the hill and cascades down to the pool.
The pool at Chattanooga is a great soak.
Another nearby great soak is Atlanta Hot Springs. This one has hot and cold running water too.
The road to Atlanta is a long way, and as I was heading back to Boise, it was getting late and I was hoping to find a place to lay my head without having to drive all the way back to town.
I came upon Twin Springs, which has been around since 1898, as the sign shows.
The rock house was available, and I checked in. Each room and cabin had its own private hot water soaking area. The tub for this room was right behind the screen.
Ahhh! Doesn't that steam look inviting.
Twin Springs also had a steam room. Very neat. I head out in search of more hot water, before having to return to Boise and catch my flight home.
Here is the Baumgartner Hot Springs pool. It is part of a State Park, as it was a gift from the owner who loved kids and welcomed friends and travelers to his soak. Didn't qualify here.
This is Preis Hot Springs. Yes, it is as small as it looks, barely big enough for one. Right next to the road, no privacy. Didn't soak here, but would be good for someone who needed to wash his feet.
This is one of the pools at Worswick Hot Springs. This is a very active geothermal area. The guide books seem to indicate that the soaking is better than I was able to locate. Didn't take the waters here. Getting late, so I'm headed back to Boise for Northwest to take me home.

Hi Sam, can you elaborate on what you mean when you say "The Church was doing well, having just resolved their Federal Vision issues."?
What were their issues and how were they resolved?
I would greatly appreciate more info as I am looking to recommend a Reformed church in Boise and I'm trying to determine where All Saints stands on FV.
Thanks!
"Attended services here and met the pastor, Brad Chaney. The Church was doing well, having just resolved their Federal Vision issues. "
If you mean that the PCA GA report states that the FV errs and is contrary to the WCF, well, that part is true. But Pastor Chaney was part of the group that authored the majority opinion in the recent presbytery trial of prominent FVer Peter Leithart, which trial found him not guilty and within the bounds of the WCF.
You decide if they have "resolved their FV issues". I say they have fallen farther into the mess.
