Famed Harbin Hot Springs ravaged by Valley Fire

http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Harbin-Hot-Springs-ravaged-by-Valley-Fire-6503417.php

Harbin Hot Springs, a tranquil health resort with clothing-optional communal soaking pools in this Lake County town, was a favorite destination for those on a holistic pilgrimage into serene rural California.

But the classic 19th-century springs and New Age healing retreat was leveled when the fast-moving Valley Fire tore through here Saturday.

The devastation at Harbin at first wasn’t immediately known after the 61,000-acre fire ripped through Middletown, Cobb and the rural areas around the expansive resort.


A dear friend almost got me up there a few years ago. Now it's too late.

But like the mythological phoenix, it will rise from the ashes.
