点评:Our group of three BDR riders stayed at Red River Hot Spring located a short ride outside Elk City before starting Section 5 of the IDBDR. While they have yurts, cabins, rooms inside the lodge, and RV spots (without hookups), we enjoyed a tent site that accommodated all of us. Our site had an established fire pit with a supply of wood, potable water at a spigot nearby, and an outhouse with running water and a flush toilet.
With the location dating back to 1896 the property boasts rustic charm with excellent owner and staff hospitality. There are bathrooms and HOT showers near the pool included with the reservation, and a gift shop with snacks, apparel items, and artisan soaps in the lodge for sale. To prevent merchandise damage on the trail (i.e. melted or crushed soaps) I took advantage of their convenient and reasonably-priced shipping option to send my purchases home.
Red River Hot Spring was a refreshing stop along this journey for our group, and will be a destination spot in the future.
翻译:我们一行三人,在出发前往 IDBDR 第 5 段之前,在距离埃尔克城不远的红河温泉 (Red River Hot Spring) 下榻。虽然那里有蒙古包、小木屋、小屋内的房间以及房车停车位(不带连接设施),但我们更喜欢一个可以容纳所有人的帐篷营地。我们的营地有一个现成的火坑,提供木柴,附近有水龙头供应饮用水,还有一个带自来水和抽水马桶的户外厕所。
这处房产的历史可以追溯到 1896 年,拥有乡村风情,主人和员工都热情好客。预订时包含泳池附近的浴室和热水淋浴,小屋里还有一家礼品店,出售小吃、服装和手工皂。为了防止商品在路上损坏(例如肥皂融化或压碎),我选择了他们便捷且价格合理的送货方式,将购买的商品寄回家。
红河温泉是我们团队在这次旅程中令人耳目一新的一站,并且将成为我们未来的目的地。
