Have you ever taken a winter dip in a hot tub in the North Georgia Mountains?
So,what’s the big deal, it’s just a hot tub, flip the cover and get in, right….. Well for those of you who have already experienced the task of getting into a hot tub, in the dark, with the bitter cold wind blowing and the temperature outside dipping into the 30′s, you know this is no easy task. For one, there is typically some sort of drink involved, whether it be a glass of wine, water bottle or a some hot cocoa, you’ll need a big comfy towel to stay wrapped in, foot wear to run across the freezing cold deck (which may or may not have some ice on it from the past dip in the tub) and a water temperature of at least 102 . Now, if you are lucky, you can corral one individual to suck it up and go first, they get to navigate the deck, wrestle the top off of the hot tub, check the temperature and then be a sounding board for the others to follow. I mean why should everyone have to trip over the rocking chairs, tables, pile of firewood and other paraphernalia left outside. So, now it’s your turn, you wait until the wind sounds like it’s calmed down just a bit, you wrap your towel tightly around you, beverage in hand, make a mad dash to the edge of the hot tub, place the towel (do not drop it on the cold deck, because at some point you have to get out and put it back around you) on a chair or hook, very quickly hand your beverage to your hot tub anchor and jump in. Ahhhhhhh, does that feel great, or what!!! You submerge yourself into the steamy hot water all the way up to your nose,with just enough room for some air and totally relax. Can anyone think of a better way to end the day in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains !! As for getting out…..well you’re on your own there ![]()
