Soda Dam

The day after we got the news that Toby died we decided that we needed to get out of the house.  Our hearts and minds were sad and we needed a pick me up.  We decided to take a drive through Jemez and go to Soda Dam (a natural mineral deposit from hot springs).  The drive was so beautiful, it was the first time us non-scouters had been to Jemez.   We drove through the rock bridge!

  The dam was quite the site to see.  It was taller than I expected and it was fun to find little hot pools all around.  Of course we all had to climb to the top and explore the other side.  We had a great time exploring, splashing and spending time together.  We didn't forget Toby but we found a reprieve from our grief.
