In Hot Water and Loving It

I have always loved a good steamy hot bath. The hotter the better. It always helped shorting colds and relieving the symptom of the flu. At least I think it does. But that maybe my excuse to take one. Now we have hot tubs/spas, so now I can have a hot steamy bath (minus the soap) with other naked people.

Ginny and I use to go to the Grand Central Hot Tub Company in San Jose when we started going together. It was great. A little private room with a sauna, hot tub and place to lie down to cool off. $20 an hour if I remember right, and worth every penny of it.

All the nudist resorts we have been to have had them. The center of social life it seems. We have three here at Laguna Del Sol (LDS for short with nothing to do with the Mormon religion). Two at the main pool and one in the Big House near the indoor pool. They are all in ground with railings to help a person get in or out. One of the ones near the main pool is called a conversation spa. Lots of people can be in it at one time and the tempeture is a little lower, so you can stay longer.

When we first started coming to the ranch, we were in the hot tub for hours (only had one then) talking to all the new people we would meet from all over the world.  It was new and exciting. Old hat now.

When we moved to Madera back in ’85 (Pre ranch). We had a pool and later added our own portable hot tub. It seated 8 and had a volcano jet in the middle to massage your feet. Never seen another like it. Loved it.  When we move permanently to the ranch, we received special permission to bring it with us. We had to have a fenced-in yard and keep the cover locked when not in use to protect the kiddies. Ours was the first private hot tub at the ranch. Only a few people have them now. None as grand as ours was.

We used it every night for about 4 or 5 years. Then it set unused for another couple of years because the top and heater gave out. We finally give it to the head grounds keeper, because he could get it our without having to teardown the fence. His friend came with a BIG forklift and lifted it out over the top of the fence. I think it is still being used..

Over the years, we go to the hot tubs less and less. ‘Been there done that’. Not as important as it once was. But, they are there if we want to use one.

When we do go, which is mainly on the off days when few outsiders are here and we have it mostly to ourselves, Ginny and I still enjoy it and bask in our memories. Sometimes when ‘newbies’ are in the tub with us, it is nice to hear them express how excited they are to have found the ranch. It’s new and exciting to them. Just like we once were years ago. In hot water and loving it.

Until next time, may your God keep you safe.........
