Nice! I like Lander a lot. We would always swim at the TePee, never did at the Star Plunge though.

Hmmm.... Not sure that I could swim at a place called "tePee"

Our choice was always TeePee Pools and we would buy yearly family passes. For the uninitiated, we aren't talking about regular pools. These are all pools from the world's largest mineral hot spring. So right behind the pools is a miniature version of Yellowstone. There is also a place called the Fountain of Youth as the Indians (Shoshone?) who lived there thought the mineral water was healing.

Basically, in the old days, TeePee catered to a more mature crowd who wanted to soak, while the Star Plunge had all the big slides and such to attract the kids.

Then there was one other pool that was more of a free senior citizen's very basic soaking pool. Not really comparable to the others.

If you go to this site, you will see the TeePee setup - wait for the inside pictures of the wood inside, like a lodge.

On another note, Tim - that Willie T206 looks undergraded - is there anything on the back? The front looks better than a 7. Nice card!
