Opal Springs

So, for you guys who don’t know, the base here at Crystal Springs was once a hot springs spa and resort. But, the water was contaminated with meningitis way back when and it closed down and whatnot and now we have the extensive and beautiful property to serve many more purposes than just relxing a rejuvenating. Well, more than just physically rejuvenating, that is.

However, the hot springs next door is not contaminated. Opal Springs is a 10-minute walk down the road and cost $7 for entry. So guess what we kiddos did with our free time on Wednesday? You betcha we went for a swim in the hot springs. It was awesome, to relax after rec. (We have required rec time at 2 on Wednesdays). There were three different pools, the hottest being about 39 degrees Celcius, the middle about 37 degrees, and the biggest, coolest pool (complete with a slide no less!) was about 34 degrees Celcius. It was awesome.

But slightly cold having to walk back to base in our wet bathing suits.

Yeah.

Peace out girl scout.
