I'm glad you enjoyed my story Katrina. I always thought it was great that my life with my wife to be, started at Deep Creek Hotsprings since I love the place so much. My two daughters who are 2 and 3 years old are hiking in and out to the lower springs now. My 2 year old has hiked in and out twice. They are regulars since they both went thier first time when they were about 2 months old in a chest pack. Thev'e been many times since and really like it down there. My 3 year old I can see will be leaving me behind pretty soon. Its an all around good experience for them. I hope they grow up to be as relaxed and friendly as many of the people we visit with at the springs :-)
