One couple said they heard about this place from a book called "Hot Ponds". I couldn't find a link for that, but I found this site for Soak.net - a hot springs resource. We had looked for the hot spring because we so wanted a jacuzzi after coming out of Yosemite. Sadly enough we still haven't gotten back up there for a soak!
Join Diane and Andy. We started this blog as we began our travels across America in our RV in 2004. (This blog will go back to January of 2005, but for 2004 travels you can visit our website at www.diandy.com). In 2009 we settled down once again, but in Colorado. Our family has since grown (and moved), and we are once again eager to explore our beautiful country, and hopefully the world...this time with the intent of sharing our love for travel with our little love.

Bridgeport, CA - Travertine Hot Springs
Just up the road from us is the Travertine Hot Springs. We drove up there the first night we arrived to check it out.
It was really neat. It reminded me of Yellowstone with the algae and bacteria-colored areas and the development of layered rims lining some of the pools. There are several hot pools to choose from. Clothing is still optional, it just depends on who is there when you visit! Unfortunately we didn't take our suits with us because it was an impulse spur-trip, and I couldn't see myself going in without one. It appears that it might be a hot-spot, pun intended, for the after-work crowd...or perhaps it's just when it cools off in the early evening when it is more appealing. But, be warned, the mosquitos were out visiting as well.

There's a map overlay data file of hotsprings in the west at http://www.discoveryowners.com/cginfo.htm. We added it to our map - haven't used it yet though :-(
I forgot about that! Thanks for the reminder, Diane
