Hot Springs National Park

My wonderful husband Pierce was very disappointed to find out that Hot Springs National Park actually has no hot springs, at least not ones that you can just jump into and soak in. Back at the turn of the century (20th that is) all of the natural hot springs water was directed into the town of Hot Springs and bath houses. These bath houses/spas were places that one could go to relax in, or a place to go in order to "cure" whatever one may be ailing from. The limestone in the spring water is said to have healing properties. So, even though we could not wade around in the hot springs, there were a couple of fountains in town that had the hot spring water spouting from them, and there were even places to fill up your own water jugs with the "medicinal" water. We definitely made sure to do that, mmmmm!
