This picture was taken at a hot spring just outside Eugene, Oregon. This hot spring isn't marked from the main road and has short trail near a dirt parking lot. I'd never have known about it if a friend hadn't told me about it. It's a really nice place to go for a dip, although it's still on the cold side in January.
A true hidden gem! Sometimes we have to be really quiet about some of them, lest everyone and their brother appear- which all too often leads to destruction.
Lol that does seem to happen here in the Pacific Northwest. Some of them seem to have permanent residents; I visited one in middle of the night and there was already a group of ten people there so I went home.
Oh my!
