Talk about buzz enhancement. I went to a natural hot springs last weekend. There are over 100 of them in the state. It was not easy to find. No two websites gave the same directions. It doesn't help that Oregon has a big problem marking its roads for directions and locations. If you've been here, you know what I'm talking about. It was a pretty killer two days to find it. Seriously, we went out for the whole saturday to look for it and we thought it was gonna be easy and close so we didn't even bring food or water. I'll give you 420 guesses to say what we didn't forget. So we came back Sat night, unsuccessful.
First thing Sunday morning I called the OU grads out here and we went back again. Success. The first thing you see on the "well maintined trail" is a missing bridge over a 20 ft wide rocky creek. Cold, yes. We made it though. We got to sit in 135 degree water that came from the volcanic earth we were sitting on. When I figure out how to put pics in here, I will. But go here...

Dude, I know what you are talking about. I've been to one in Costa Rica twice. You have to drive a few hours through the rain forest, dodge potholes the size of Rhode Island and drive over partially collapsed bridges, but the trip is well worth it. I've heard you can see a volcano erupt daily there, but both times I went it was too cloudy. Nonetheless, I think it is the coolest place I've ever been.

Those springs are cool... and actually now that I think about it I think the springs in Oregon and Costa Rica are related to each other. They're both part of the 'pacific rim' chain of volcanic hot spots. Anyway, the man-made canoe hot-tubs look cool.
