Checked out the tubs. They're ok. The water isn't that hot but it's got that wonderful silky mineral quality, healing I hope. There aren't many tubs but no one's using them.
Went to find the natural springs and discovered the log bridge that we must cross is just that, a sketchy steep log, so we hiked up to try to find the lake. They only gave us a 'disneyland' map, with cartoon images and no scale or sense of climb. The hike turned out to be a ballbuster - steep and rocky in the hot sun - and we didn't bring water for Yuki. I used that as an excuse to turn around before making it to the first lake. The map only said one mile but we were well over a mile in to where it said that mile began. I wimped out. My knee was bugging me and I was feeling dehydrated.
We did get back into the Ansel Adams wilderness again however.
On the way back, Stacy joked that one of these days, we'll go on a vacation that's actually relaxing, insttead of wrought with exhausting moments (we're at 7K+ feet and I'm feeling it). Yuki had fun chasing lizards tho.
