Hot Spring

After many exhausting days of work on the farm nothing is better than a day off. Unless it’s a day off spent at the hot spring. Last Monday was such a day. Willia, Lisa, Rain and I all drove out with canoe to the local reservoir. There we unload the canoe and or lunches and cast off paddling to the other side where the hot spring is located. We had good fortune, as the spring was empty. The spring itself is an interesting sight. Water from a water fall is transported via a flexible rubber pipe to at can best be described as a small steamy cave where the water heats p and is send via another rubber pipe to a rock tub that looks to have been cut out of the ground. The tub has a pug at the bottom that drains into the stream that runs from the waterfall. A second tube runs from this creek supplying cold water if it is so desired, so in effect the tub has both hot and cold. While not foul smelling the spring water is loaded with sulfur and calcium salts. So we intrepid relaxers did what we had to. We plugged the tub and let the hot water pour in. We did what we had to soaking in the tub for hours while eating nuts, fruit, chocolate and other lunch treats before declaring our selves fully relaxed. At this point we pull the plug and sent the water wooshing down the creek. We set back to our canoe paddled to our cars and drove home. A grand time was had by all.
