Hey kids,

Since the sun decided to stick around for a second day in a row, we decided to exploit the outdoors once again. Our destination this time would be Chrystal Hot Springs, about an hour and a half to the north.

I like the hot water but much is made to do with the “healing properties” of the mineral content of the water.

I don’t know.

I feel good afterwards, yes. But like I said, it’s hot water. Lots of it.

Surrounding the pools, attached to the fences, are ad banners for all sorts of “healing” disciplines. This does not add to my confidence. It all makes it into a voodoo hippie vibe. Not at all anything to do with me.

Like so many unseen things, the proof is in the believer. So like many such things, I’m not going to worry much about it.

If the mineral content of the water does provide a medicinal benefit, so be it. If it does not, the hot water felt good for at least the afternoon.
