Tiki,
Your very last statement, "way too many drugs and drinkers for me".................is any off the mark buddy.
If you were at the springs Saturday, you wouldn't say that. Wizard and I were there and the people at the springs were just the opposite of what you are thinking. No one was high from drugs and no one was drunk either. It was well behaved crowd down there with the exception of one individual that Wizard mentioned in a previous post.
Let's not paint a bad picture here of this hot spring. It already got a bad review of its past from the recent newspaper article. Why make it any worse than it is.
