HOT SPRINGS CAVE

To get into the Hot Springs Cave, one has to know where it is, for starters.  The narrow entrance opens up and deepens quickly into a circular cave, dimly lit by phosphorescent rocks and a few well placed holes drilled in the ceiling. As the granite cave floor slopes downwards it turns into the shallows of a hot springs pool which deepens toward the back of the cave. The cave roof is just high enough for a 5'9" woman to stand upright, ankle deep in the shallows of the pool. The side edges of the cave are covered in dry sand, but the roof is so low there that one would have to crawl toward the back of the cave, if not going through the water. The water is 110 degrees in the center of the pool - where the springs bubbble out of a crack in the granite floor - and cooler around the edges.
