Next week I hope to enact my third try to reach (call that find) the Queen's 
Laundry.

The route to Queen's Laundry is straightforward, really. Do this. Drive to 
the end of Fountain Flats Drive and hike along the old road to Ojo Caliente 
Spring. Cross the bridge. Directly on the opposite side of the river from Ojo 
Caliente is the trailhead for the Sentinel Meadow trail. Take it. Keep going. Go 
all the way, past the other springs (Mound, Steep, Iron Pot). The trail will 
curve toward the south. At that point either 1) cut straight across the grassy 
meadow -- probably pretty dry at this season -- or 2) continue the trail a bit 
more until you reach anotehr that branches sharply back to the nnorthwest. 
Take it and it goes directly to Queen's Laundry, and Norris's bath house.

Put another way -- if you can find Sentinel Meadow (no hill climbing needed 
or recommended), then Queen's Laundry is simply the farthest spring in from the 
road.
