Harrison Hot Springs Resort

I am here again with Laura and Madigan.  I love Harrison hot springs.  I’ve been coming some 40 years. One of the best times was when I rented a cabin in the resort for my parents.   Laura and I have been coming by car, truck and motorcycle.  We’ve stayed in a half dozen of the hotels.  We loved the Bungalow cabins and see they’ve been torn down. I liked the Harrison Beach Hotel for the underground parking for m y Harley electroglide when Laura would ride on the back all over the province with me.  Gilbert my previous cockapoo came along.  He’d ride with me on the motorcycle and Mazda Miata but Laura then was relegated to my truck.  In the Miata the dogs sit on her so for a winter drive to SAN Diego I bought the Mini Cooper  to accommodate both girl and dog.    Today I have the Mini Cooper for Laura and Madigan. 
Without a dog we enjoyed dinners in the Copper Room. Before that i can remember coming for dinner and dancing in there. Since the dogs came , we’ve dined now at most of the restaurants in town that have a balcony where we can sit with a dog.  Mostly though at the Harrison Hotspring I order our meals at the Lakeside Cafe. I had their fish and chips last night. Delicious Madigan loved his burger paddy and Laura the Chicken wrap.  We topped it off with vanilla ice cream because Madigan likes a spoonful of that too.  Life revolves around the dog.  
Laura and I have now had two walk's along the lake.  It’s so beautiful. Such incredible views of lake and snow capped mountains. Blue sky and sunshine this afternoon. I was up at 8 30 and walked Madigan around the lake in a light rain  before ‘taking the waters’.  I’ve been in the adult pool twice and once in the indoor hot hot pool.  
Laura and I just returned from walking down the lake to where the hot springs are bubbling up and steaming. The water for the hotel and the public pool are taken from that point.
We’ve also come with the truck and camper and stayed at the Glencoe RV park and used the public hot spring pool .
I put a hold payment on a Thor Hurricane bus yesterday so next we will probably be bringing  that to Glencoe or another of the RV parks. There’s the provincial campground up the lake. I’ve camped along the lake and even hunted mostly grouse with my quad. There’s some wilderness hotspring up in the mountains I’ve climbed up  when. I was younger. 
Now I just love the Harrison Hot Springs resort  pool.  So meditative.  Such a gloriously beautiful place.
On the way back from my last luxurious experience I picked up cappuccino’s from the coffee shop. We get breakfast croissants there sometimes  but the cafe’s in the town make egg and bacon sandwich I bought us those this morning on my way back from the walk with Madigan. 
I love it here.  Laura loves it here.  Madigan loves it here too.  
Last night we watched a Gerald Butler movie before a peaceful sleep.  Now that we’re back from another walk time to get back down to the hot springs we can see from our window in the main building. 
God is good all of the time Thank you Jesus.
