While on this last camping expedition, we stopped for a short time at Wentworth Springs. Wentworth is an old way station established in the 1880s along the route - originally called McKinney's - between Georgetown and Tahoe. If you're interested in reading some of it's history (poorly written, but full of information), read about Wentworth Spring's history here.
Check out my photos.
In an advertisement in the June 13, 1884 Georgetown Gazette, "Wentworth springs. These well and favorably known Springs will be open for health and pleasure seekers July. 1st 1884. In our new and commodious House all can be accommodated at reasonable terms. Soda water in bottles or kegs to be had at any time. Tables furnished with the best market affords. Passengers carried from Georgetown to the Soda Springs at reasonable rates."
