New Mexico: San Antonio Hot Springs

Yesterday Moved out of New Mexico. Now the slow moving process begins. During the next month We will be driving all over the place visiting Dallas, Austin, New Orleans, Fort Lauderdale, back to Santa Fe for a day, Salt Lake City, and finally arriving at the Bay Area (in that order. Dont ask). But before I stop posting about New Mexico, I must show you a couple more places we visited there. Today: The San Antonio Hot Springs.

This place is about 30-40 minutes from Los Alamos, by the town of Jemez Springs. Getting to the springs is easy if you have an all terrain vehicle or if you aren't worried about hurting your car by driving it over very very rough terrain (maybe you have a rental car and the person at the rental company's desk was rude to you). But i wasn't going to put my car through that, so we hiked there. The hike was supposed to be a bit over 5 miles, but we got lost and it ended up being 7. If you ever come to these springs, just follow the obvious path and eventually you will get to them. We were silly and got off the path, hehe. Luckily, we met a really nice group of people there who gave us a ride back!

This is where we got lost. It was worth it!

Once we got to the springs we were exhausted, but this place is really a paradise, so we got to release all our stress there. We ate some pancakes, and just relaxed. The water is very warm, and INCREDIBLY clear. The springs are on the side of a mountain, so the view from them is amazing. After visiting the not-so-pretty Las Vegas Hot Springs we were pleasantly surprised by the beauty of this place. This is definitely a place to if you are in the area. Here are some more of our pictures:

The nice people who gave us a ride also took our picture! 

TAN LINES. In his defense, he is a road cyclist, so he can't help it. 

He refused to wear a swimsuit. So he ended up soaking in his underwear. 

Now back to this moving bussiness for a second. Does anyone know of things worth doing in Dallas, TX? (does anyone read this?)
