Harbin Hot Springs Resort Destroyed by Fire

[snyper]

Before an explosive wildfire torched Middletown this weekend, this quaint hamlet toward the northwestern edge of California’s wine country was perhaps best known as a stop along the way to a clothing-optional spiritual retreat offering yoga and massage workshops.

Home to mainly commuters and retirees, Middletown saw a steady flow of tourists who flocked to nearby Harbin Hot Springs for its hot and cold pools and rustic lodging, including geodesic domes. The resort burned down during the massive Valley fire.

I hope they can rebuild it. Always wanted to go there, never had the chance. Very sad.

From the blog on Harbin.org posted today: "Please know, dear guest, Harbin will rebuild. Our little Oasis, our sacred space will once again rise from the ashes like a Phoenix and will welcome you with open arms. We will be updating this blog frequently to keep you updated on our progress."

They can use some help with donations for the residents and staff who are now homeless and out of work.
