The Hot Spring:

Once again the spring is on the wromg side of the river, after you cross a shower awaits. hot water fallsa 115 degrees f. and quickly mixes with river water to cool it to just around 100 to 102, the shower is very nice if you can handle the heat and gives an great mesage, if you are at all curios you might want to scamper up above where the source is comming from, there you will find a rock and mortar poll at the perfect temp located on the cliff, since you can only get hear mid to late summer it would be good to clean to pool because of alge build up. oh yeah theres a small p.v.c. pipe to drain the tub, just plug to refill.
