Last weekend on Sunday when I was up at the springs I noticed a number of people taking a quick dip in the creek. Its gettin to be that time of year again ( almost spring ) when the stream starts warming up. I spent alot less time in the hotpools during my visit and more time catchin some rays. Didn't have any problems with those itchy bumps. Its only been a problem when I was in the hotpools for a long time. Maybe by next winter this situation will resolve itself, on its own, that would be nice :-) The trees and bushes will be sproutin real soon. It looks wonderful down there along the creek when everything greens up. I did a long nekid hike along the creek on Sunday and it sure was great!
