Great Time

Karen and I are headed back to Huntingdon, TN later today. We found this to be a great place to come rest and be refreshed. The people are very friendly. The atmosphere is laid back and it is easy to get around - at least it was this time of the year.

We have enjoyed the last three days in Hot Springs, AR. There are many sites to visit and, to me, the spring water and water falls are great. There is a National Park inside Hot Springs. The Federal Government owns the rights to the water. We enjoyed going up in the Mountain Tower on top of East Mountain yesterday. The view was great from the top open air floor. There was a historical timeline one level below the top with closed in plexi-glass around it. Karen and I also enjoyed the natural hot springs bath. The water comes out of the hot springs at 130-143 degrees. The baths are set around 100-105 degrees. It takes about an hour to go through the bath, steam room, sitz bath, hot wraps and shower. The baths are gender separated and each whirlpool bath is enclosed on the long sides. It was very relaxing and invigorating. (note: there is a charge for the baths)
