I am looking for a free Social Network type site to set up my Hot-Springs lists. I was using Ning.com for http://hotsprings-bc-canada.ning.com/ which was an easy site to configure and setup quickly. Can you help??
Each Forum Posting message will need to have to have the following.
If you (the reader of this) has links to a social network that is free and free to users please add a comment with a link.
Thanks!
This is some of the areas I am testing/exploring I haven't made a disision just testing what is out there.

PostPosted: Wed Jul 23, 2008 9:31 pm Post subject: Meager Creek... Alive and Well Visited Meager Creek on July 21/22. Sure was nice to get back there after so long away. Forgot how incredible that place really is. Two of the four main pools are functional and clean. Two pools have the drain valves broken and don't hold water(if you go up, take a piece of rubber mat about 8 inches square and you'll be able to cover the drain and fill up your own pool). Nobody at gate or collecting money yet but I'm sure that is to come. I'd willingly pay for such a treasure to be maintained and cleaned for us all to enjoy. Road is in awsome shape as well as Upper Lilloet camp ground just before the turnoff. Hope everyone enjoys and respects the rebirth of a little bit of paridise. SoakersForum.com READMORE!

Potential of snow in Pemberton, I would expect snow at Meager and Pebble.
Driving time really has alot to do with the construction on Hwy 99, Pemberton is 30 minutes out of Whistler and Meager if the roads are good, allow 1 hour 15 minutes +/- from Pemberton. Add in snow+ Add in rough road+. Whistler can take hours to get too, Nov. 19th it took about 2 hours to get to Whistler, morning departure, 9am
When I was at Skookumchuck the ice was forming on the deck with-in minutes of being splashed, bring a good bag.

Road not expected to be open again until sometime next year.
That's an unbelievable amount of water coming down in the video clip Tom! I received this email photo from Member: Ivana Vasak, thought I would re-post it here. Ivana also added more photos re the washout in the photo area.

This is the best view of the washout. You can see the road in the forest on the right.

HALFWAY RIVER HOT SPRINGS
N 50° 30.313 W 117° 47.092 Halfway River [+C/O] [HTSPHLFWAY](Halfway Hot Springs located on the banks of the Halfway river, approx. 15 miiles north of Nakusp on Hwy. #23. Take Highway 23 from Nakusp. Just before the Halfway River bridge, on the right (east) side of the road is a logging road, which is not usually plowed in the winter.) *Courtesy of "Rick" bangedupshins@gmail.com
Clothing Optional Remote, natural hot springs in southeastern BC. Two pools, add river water to cool off, plywood soaking box. In Nakusp (in southeastern BC on RT 6) ask locally (at the Chamber of Commerce) for directions to Halfway River Hot Springs. It is generally: RT 23 north for about an hour then turn and go about 7 miles on a dirt road. (No better directions.)
After you've crossed the St. Leon Creek bridge, watch for a forest service road with a stop sign at the end on the right hand side (going north). Turn right onto that road. There should be a bright yellow sign up on a tree on the right hand side that reads "Halfway Road". After about 6miles an old skidder trail will run across. Park there and follow the trail down to the river (about 300 yards). The small pool (fitting about 5 people) is located near the river, and VERY hot. Some people bring a container in order to poor water out of the river into the pool to cool it down. There is also an Upper Halfway River Hot Springs that are supposed to be better but I'm still trying to get the location of them out of my source.

This was my first time playing with my GPS... Came to the springs from Kelowna on Sunday. Tried to get to the upper halfway river springs... but that road scarred the crap outa me. Only 4 Km away, and turned back to these springs. The liner of the new pool is going to have trouble with algae... The next one down may want to bring a soft bristle brush to leave behind to brush the walls. IHAVE to go back soon.Bonus points to those who can identify this mushroom

Really need to see the gills and stalk.
Cheers and have a great time.
Have you been to these hot springs? Do you have info you would like to share?

Take the upper trail (the one along the river is washed out in places) and follow the pipe to what I called the Nakusp Hot Spring Puddles

Great remote springs in the upper portion of the halfway river system. No these are not the frequented ones lower down stream. These springs are on the northern flank of the mountains with a fantastic view. Elevation is over 4000 ft and aprrox a 45 minute hike through steep avalanche chutes and thick underbrush. Machete recommended!
This pool will fill in about 20 minutes once the drains have been sealed. Water temp can be regulated somewhat but expect temps around 45C or higher. If you do visit these springs remember to drain the pool after your usage to reduce the algae buildup that occurs in many springs. The area is relatively clean so lets keep it that way. Have a great soak!

Here are the coords. Elev should read around 3700 ft not the 4000 I noted earlier.

The Springs are truly an inspirational experience. Where else can you sit in a wild outdoor natural environment like this with bull Moose just a scant 100m away feeding in the nearby swamps. Yes he was there during our swim...After a short 1.5 km walk hike along wooden boardwalks, you reach the main pool (Alpha). This is where most people come to soak away those dusty miles of the Alaskan Hwy. Beyond this point is the larger and deeper Beta pool (a mere 400m walk along those same wooden paths). The Beta pool is more remote and less frequented. The pool is deep enough to dive into, but don't! This pool is approx 10m round and 3m deep. Temp is a good 45C and in the center you can see bubbles coming to the surface that makes the spring look like it is boiling! Unfortunately there is a lot of algae growth that is floating on the surface, kinda makes for a messy swim.Back to the main pool (Alpha). the far SE end of the pool is where the springs emerge from the earth. The water is very hot! Mot people wade near the spillway that drops into a cooler pool to the NW. This lower but cooler natural pool is perfect for kids and (OK even me). Not too hot but great just to sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds...Keep in mind this is bear country but worse are the mosquitoes. While in the water you are safe (except or your head). A hat is recommended. Beware when climbing out of the pools, the stairs are slippery...

Reply by Doug on While a good spot to stop for a soak, these springs are very touristy. But that is to be expected so don't come here looking for peace and tranquility. The scenery is great and the drive enjoyable (even saw a bear with her 2 cubs), but swimming under the watchful prison guard scans of the lifeguards is disheartening.
