The hot springs resort is located in a valley east of Elk City. Doremus was in the process of moving from her Los Angeles home, where she managed office buildings in Universal City, according to the accompanying story, also by Hedberg. Her plans for the resort included being open year-round and catering to regular vacationers, hunters and snowmobilers, according to the story.
