Hot Springs Arkansas

This is the Spa we soaked our old body's at.


In this photo you can see the old tub, cooling table and steam cabinets.
We stayed in a very nice National Park near town for $11.00 a day with the old geezer pass. This is a beautiful area in the Ozark mountains and it has a great history.  Back in the early 1900's they built large bath houses and piped in the hot mineral water to soak in. These bath houses are very large with three story's to accommodate dozens of bathers. Some of the bath houses are still operating and have been updated with ceramic tile and modern Jacuzzi tubs. The water is 130 degrees coming out of the ground. The water is very clear and has no smell or taste.Their are fountains down town that people collect the water in glass jugs for use at home, it is free for the taking. Lynn and I sign up for a hot bath and a massage, boy did that feel good. The rest of the day we did not do much. Hot Springs was very popular with the Mafia back in the twenty's and many celebrities visit regularly. In the 20's and 30's the major baseball teams came here for spring training and lived it up. I will try and attach some pictures.

Heading Home

We are leaving Mission Texas Thursday morning and headed for Dallas for Easter. We will spend the weekend with our grand daughter and then head for Hot Springs Ark.
We had a very bad storm hear the other night and the town is a mess. We lost our patio awning and thought the trailer was going to take off with it.
We have had a great time here in Fiesta Village and plan to return next year.
