Great trip report! Its funny how many Asian Tourist you meet at the springs. Then again I have meet people from all over the world at the springs.
I'll never forget the old Asian Grandma with grand son I met hiking down to the springs. They where about half way down. They had stopped to take a break. As I passed I said hello! Then I made a coment to the old lady, "You very strong lady!" She just laffed and made two fists!
I think maybe we should start a new tread, "Hot Spring Stories"
