... around. The water running through Hot Springs Creek (and directly under the row of bathouses built before 1920) is heated by the Novaculite rocks in the mountains. These vertically split rocks absorb rainfall through pores and fractures and conduct it deep into Mother Earth. As it sinks further into the Earth, the rocks heat it at a rate of about 4 degrees every 300 ft. As the water is pulled through the rock, it dissolves minerals and flows into the creek. Throughout Hot Springs ...

Visiting hot springs might be one of Bek's favourite things to do in the whole world, so when a town is named Hot Springs, it sparks our interest. We did an overnighter and drove from Wichita, Kansas to Hot Springs, Arkansas (State # 22, slowly getting there).

Hot Springs is a town surrounded by state parks that is built around (you guessed it) Hot Springs. This area has 46 natural hot springs and a row of bath houses ...

... the area to read more about it. While we were all expecting to totally ruin our clothes and shoes we did not, however we came out fairly dirty and are now doing laundry. All in all, a good day, nothing horrible happened we had fun. I was not as impressed by Hot Springs as I thought I would be but hey, they can't all be like Yellowstone or Olympic National Park otherwise what would be so special. Digging for diamonds was something I wanted to do ever ...

... is not allowed due to the fact that over time flashes can damage materials, thus I have very few photos that actually look decent. After the tour of the grounds was done we went to the Lisa Marie and Hound dog II airplanes and got a look at his elaborate personal airplanes. Which were again very elaborate for the time period. My question here is how did they get the planes into what is now downtown Memphis? The automobile display has his classic cars including a ...

... get in a hot bath. Andy loved it!!

Arkansas rocks--- crystal mines are scattered in the hills beckoning one to come and dig through their tailings for treasure. We decided ,due to the mostly nasty weather and not really being all that into getting muddy, to go to the store. A virtual field of crystals, glass and rocks - Interesting and fun. Rocks always have me thinking about my Aunt Mama Dot. She ...

Luke and Jenna had decided to take a very scenic route back to Searcy and go along the sort of back roads highways, visiting small Arkansas towns or towns with cool downtown districts along the way, and one of those was Hot Springs, where my family happened to be due to the long Labor Day weekend. I decided to surprise them by just walking into the lake house completely ...

We got into Hot Springs, Arkansas around noon yesterday. From the plane all you see are hills and green. Being from Miami.. that's a lot of green.

My two great aunts, Mary and Ramonita, were already waiting for us when we landed in the private airport. On the way to Mary's house all you see are tree's and randomly placed houses. We drove through "downtown" and Ramonita started complaining about the ridiculous traffic.. which was like ten cars on the road. I couldn't help but laugh ...

... hot spring pools outdoors, only small ones inside the hotels. Thus far, the biggest and BEST hot spring place (that we've seen) is in Fairmont, BC. · Unlike Fairmont however, these springs have no sulfur smell and are good enough to drink. There are cold water springs as well so the city has constructed several filling stations where residents can get the COLD mineral enriched water for free. · The US Mail is delivered by 4x4 Jeeps. · Azaleas, magnolia ...

... might do during our stay - little had we realised just what a treat lay in store. Once in the town its significance became apparent. As we wandered along Bathhouse Row it wasn't difficult to imagine strolling here when the town was in its Victorian heyday. I suppose we should have guessed its significance from the name, but to be truthful we never gave it a thought ...

... got the opportunity to take some pictures of the wildlife. Though I was a bit disappointed, because it lacked the excitement a lot of my recent picture taking adventures did, since ducks and squirrels weren't exactly foreign or rare. But I did get some very close shots, and because I was sitting still the whole time I was there (reading) the ducks and squirrels didn't really notice I was there, and would venture very ...
