=== Day 5: 9/23 Wednesday (Wifi/hot tub PM!) {{todo}} === * '''Note:''' Mako needs to be on a call on Wednesday AM, so it'd be good to be in Carson by Tuesday. * '''Note:''' Route 14 is a little busy and the shoulder is small; a few detours can be taken (though a little more climbing); the tunnels have "bicyclist-in-the-tunnel" lights. ;Route: Columbia Hills Historical Park (~40 miles/1300ft) to Carson Hot Spring. [https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34092969 Ride with GPS] ; Plan * Get in early and soak. * There used to be a "natural" hot spring but last time we went, it dried up. We should look up and see if we can hike there. ; Food * Breakfast: camp food * Lunch: pick up something in one of the towns * Dinner: Brewery pizza at [https://www.backwoodsbrewingcompany.com/ Backwoods Brewing] (open until 9pm) ; Overnight ('''to be reserved'''): [http://www.carsonhotspringresort.com/ Carson Hot Springs and SPA] Something weird is going on: the website linked above is broken and doesn't seem to resolve and there's a pretty crazy note on the [https://www.facebook.com/Carsonhotsprings/ the Facebook page]... Rooms seem to available on Booking.com but I would call: (509) 427-8296 and find out if (a) they are really renting rooms and (b) if the hot springs are really open. β<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">ΰΉ</font>]]</b> 03:05, 11 September 2020 (CEST) :OK. It seems open and running now. Someone should call and verify that (a) they are open and (b) their spa is open. We should probably reserve two rooms: (1) King Room w/ Hot Tub (more expensive but then we can hot spring on our own schedule) and (2) double-queen room. β<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">ΰΉ</font>]]</b> 03:05, 11 September 2020 (CEST) * Alternative overnight options: : Carson Ridge Luxury Cabins (more expensive, only 2/cottage, looks nice, right by backward brewery): we'd visit Carson Hot Spring just for the sauna experience (~$30/person?) : Home Valley Campground seems to be closest campground : : Sunrise at PM; sunrise at AM. ; Other options: [http://www.bonnevilleresort.com Bonneville Resort] There are two routes, with and without bus. [http://gorgetranslink.com/transit-klickitat.html The hood river shuttle] is a dial-a-ride and runs four times a day across the bridge. No bicyclists and pedestrians are allowed on Hood River State Bridge and the nearest bridge is 20 miles away. The bus leaves Port of Hood River at 8:25, 12:00, 1:40, and 4:30 and costs $1 per person. Runs only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. '''We must call (509) 493-4662 in advance to make sure that the bike space is available.''' We want to arrive in Carson before 4:30pm to take advantage of the bath and wrap which is available only until 18:00. Google suggests ~5 hours (48.6 miles) from Maryhill State Park to Port of Hood River. It should 97 minutes (17.2 miles) to Carson from the other side. If we make the 1:40 bus, we should make it to Carson in time. * After Carson, it gets hilly, so I suggest shorter distance each day. ;Alternate Routes: Route: 1) Maryhill State Park (57 miles/2000ft)
