Delight's

I dragged Roxy out for a road trip the other day.....to China Ranch and Tecopa. She had never been there before and those are cool places to visit, I think. Where are these places you might wonder, because most people I encounter never heard of them. About a two hour drive from Vegas in California. No....we did not walk or hitchhike there. If you go to China Ranch you have to check out the very interesting gift shop (go in the back room - WOW) and try a date shake and taste some of the date samples. There are hikes there, I like the hike to Slot Canyon but it is getting too hot to be hiking there this time of year unless you go early......like start around sunrise or later in the day around 6 pm. So we continued on to Tecopa where we stopped at the Death Valley Internet Cafe, very good food there! We took some pics and had a picnic under a tree that gave much needed shade. Looks like some places are closing down for the season to open up again in October......like this place that is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. When it cooled down we went to the mud baths in Tecopa. I got in thigh deep. And this time just like a previous time I got bit by something in the water because I have a bunch of very itchy red spots on my legs now. I have been in these mud baths several times, submerged chin deep in the water and twice I got something itchy on my skin from the adventure. There is a sign by the parking area that warns visitors of mud mites in the water so get in at your own risk. People soak here all the time, so it can't be that bad...... After the mud bath we went to Delight's hot spring resort, my first visit there actually and I loved it! There are four private hot pools to pick from, a really nice courtyard and an upstairs patio to relax on in between soaking. One of the pools has an open roof and it is wonderful to lay and relax in the water and look up at the night sky. Very romantic too if you go there with that special person in your life. You can also stay the night in Tecopa in case you want to spend some more time there. Of course I took pics in the pool....... What a lovely day! ❤
