Dear Friends of Wilbur:
The hurricanes in Florida reminds me of times at Wilbur when we were besieged by torrential rains.
During one downpour the road between Wilbur's silver entrance bridge and Wilbur's historic 1910 Hotel was washed out. The hole that the waters created in the road was large enough to drive a large truck into. I looked at the hole and my blood pressure elevated. How are we going to deal with this? I had never witnessed a hole so large in a road. Would we be forced to close? And, if so, for how long?
Fortunately there was a narrow pathway around the hole which sufficed for walking. We placed wheel barrows down at the silver bridge and told arriving guests to use them for their food and belongings. Guests parked their cars, loaded up the wheel barrows and walked the one mile from the silver bridge to the Hotel.
When guests departed they loaded their wheel barrows, walked to their vehicles and left them for the next guests.
Business as usual.

| The Colusa County Road Department was extremely busy with flooding in the County but they managed to get to us within a few weeks. I was able to watch the reconstruction of the road which turned out to be quite simple. They dumped large boulders into the hole and then filled in the rest with dirt. Lickety split the scary hole was gone and the road was like new. |

The threat of closure became a memorable
Wilbur occasion, an education on road repair and an opportunity to
practice creative solutions for challenging situations.Say hello next time you visit Wilbur. We are the tall couple with the smiling eyes and laughing hearts.
With affection for each of you,
Richard and Jolee,
Caretakers, Wilbur Hot Springs

Wilbur's thermometer in October drops to a comfortable 79°F high and 48°F low,
making it a perfect time to come and "take our healing waters"! With
lower ambient temperatures, the moisture of the warm air rising from the flumes creates a beautiful mist as the sun rises & sets.
