A hot tub in the woods

So, Uncle Ben and his friends have this tradition to camp and snowmobile up on Rabbit Ears Pass...and, oh yeah, hot tub.

These are the tubs all set up, and Zo getting things started by throwing some ice chunks in:

Here's Ben getting the wood fired-heating system (of his own design) set up...

The water truck arriving from Steamboat, 10:30 AM:

Joe and Toby and Ben, the guys responsible for this:

Getting the pools filled...3,000 gallons...

Ben talking to the forest service guy, who asked if he could come back once he got off work: :)

And, the kids the first ones in at 5:30 PM...98 degree water still on its way up but perfect for them:

They splashed and bounced and laughed for an hour...such fun...followed by Mexican potluck dinner (thanks, Joe for including us!) and then we headed home...but I'm sure the hot tubs got and will get lots of use all weekend long.

Uncle Ben is the coolest. :)
