Hot Springs Arkansas



National Park Campground.  Our camper is on the far left in the trees.

The water coming out of the spring is 143 degrees!

I hung out at the camper today while R&N explored Hot Springs National Park.  Neat place.  It is easy to see how people came at the turn of the twentieth century to "take the waters".  There were bath houses lined all up and down the main street.  The baths were really quite a ritual, involving soaking in a tub, hot packs placed on the body , a steam bath and maybe a massage.  The whole thing took about two hours and people that came did this every day. There are still two bath houses in operation.

After the sight seeing was over, it was time for them to catch up on some chores.  The truck needed an oil change and tires rotated and washing had to be done.  They finally got done and came back and we had chicken on the grill---one of my favorite meals.
