    Hot springs have been on my list recently. Next time I'm up @ Cameo I think I'll make a stop & indulge. Bored with Idaho Springs.

    Not a fan of hit tubs and pools heated by hot springs.

    The water is too hot.

    The larger west end pool at Glenwood is 90 degrees, very nice and a cool off from the therapy pool at the east end which is a relaxing 104 degrees. They have a small original hot pool that's 120 degrees but nobody uses it.

    Back in the years when I was touring the continent by motorcycle I sought out hot springs everywhere from the Gila Wilderness to Circle City hot springs north of Fairbanks. Always a good way to wash the dust off and meet interesting people. There were great places from Banff to backcountry springs in the Yukon. I would like to do it again but travel with a cozy camper of some kind.

    There's a reason they're called HOT SPRINGS!

    Default The post whore thread.

    Any time I think of hot springs it makes me think of men with mustaches and women way past their prime sharing intimate encounters with strangers.

    Speaking of odd encounters... I recently floated in a (private) sensory reduction salt tank that was 6x denser than the dead sea. Surroundings/store front were a bit too hipster for my tastes but I have to say it was pretty darn relaxing, solved some aches & about as close as I'm going to get for a zero g experience.

    I enjoyed it.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
