Quinn's Hot Springs/Paradise Montana

Prototypes
#1

So last weekend I went on a date with my wife. We went to Quinn’s Hot Springs near Paradise MT just north of St. Regis and west of Missoula. We rented a very nice riverside cabin that had a great view of the BNSF mainline on the Clark Fork River. Train’s run by here about 1 an hour (and I got not good pictures of trains). Well on Monday morning I decided to step out and take in the morning. It was 6:30 am wife was still asleep and it was a peaceful morning. I put a pot of coffee on and went out on the porch to wait for a train. Well I forgot my phone and went to get it. Well guess what I did. . .I forgot to unlock the door knob and locked myself out. It is about 25 degrees out and I am barefoot in shorts and a bath robe. Did I mention my wife is asleep and also is deaf. The lodge is about 400 yards away on frozen muddy gravel roads. I sat in the porch swing freezing. If your going to die from freezing to death you can not ask for a better view.

I love the rock formations and I want to model this on the indoor someday. But for now it was just a great view.

Well don’t leave us hanging, how did you get back in??

#3

He didn’t. He’s still there, on the swing, frozen,

Well after about 1/2 an hour the wife woke up and went looking for me. I actually stayed pretty warm except my feet. I had to go take a long hot shower to warm them up.

He’s a Marine, that answers that question. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-innocent.gif)

So why didn’t you dip your toes in the hot springs? They do it here all the time:

The thought of walking barefoot on frozen gravel and moud about 400 yards was some what disparaging

But I do like the model of the springs that’s cool. . .er I’m.
. hot. . . Well you know what I mean.

It does? Does it? Oh, ok. Yea, I guess it does.

Yeah it kinda does, Marines aren’t know for thinking things through to a logical conclusion before they act. It would be counter productive if they did. I mean if the Marines landing on Pacific Island beaches had thought it through to a logic conclusion they might not have gotten on the boats. As a consequence we do dumb shit like lock ourselves out of cabins in nothing but a bath robe.

#11

Hey at least you had a bathrobe on… You were thinking somewhat…

#12

Gee Devon, with that explanation, you have me wondering if maybe I am a Marine. But I am not.

#13

lol, Well that mentality is not only limited to Marines.

Posting a period as I get in trouble for posting blanks with nothing to add but acknowledging that I’m watching.
