I've been enjoying the hot springs for the last few years, but have always had uncomfortable encounters with Mike. He's always let us pass, but not without a long rant. The friends I come with are all girls and we assure him that we're only staying during the day, so we've never had a ton of trouble....but the stories I'm seeing here about him brandishing pistols are scaring me.
It seems that Freedom Trail is off-limits as I don't have a car that can handle the road.
However, I'm seeing something about alternative route coming from the South? Bradford ridge? Is the road to this parking area comparable to the one at the ranch? Is the hike straightforward?
Would love any advice of options here!
Thanks in advance for your advice
