While visiting our daughter and her family in Laramie, WY I took the opportunity to drive (about 1 1/2 hours) to Saratoga, WY to visit the hot spring pool there.  Saratoga is a small town of about 1,200 people.  The pool has been named “Hobo Pool”.  I”m not sure why because I haven”t seen any “Hobos” there on any of my visits.  The water temperature varies from about 106 degrees to 110 degrees F depending on how close you are to where the hot spring flows into the larger pool.  I was told that the pool remains free to the public because it was a condition imposed by the local American Indian tribe that donated it to the City.  The pool is about 30” square and is open 24 hours/day.  There is no fee nor life guard.  It”s really nice to sit in the hot water while the local temperature is below freezing.  The hot spring flows into the pool and out into the adjacent river (North Platte River).  I really enjoy visiting this pool – Pat does not like the sulfur smell.
