Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 Never have made it to Jemez. MAybe I can make it a goal. I believe it is a tricky walk for my lame ankle. When I go, I go to Ojo Caliente. HAven't been there in years, though.

There's a great little funky hot springs bath place right in the center of town. Big old concrete bathtubs to soak in, then a hot steam wrap with cucumber water to drink; and then, if you can afford it, a massage. Ohhhhh my. A treat, yes, but worth every penny. The stuff in that water is magic for PWCs. And it's not nearly as expensive as the spas in Santa Fe, either. Sara Quote
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 Hot springs used to be really popular about 100 years ago. I've been trying to locate the hot mineral springs in Mt Clemens Michigan for over ten years. They were sulfur rich, I understand. That's about 120 miles from here. Saratoga NY also had popular 'healing' springs. So, I continue to settle for EPsom salt baths. mjh " The Basil Book " _http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/_ (http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/) On Aug 25, 2006, at 6:34 PM, Adrienne G. wrote: > Never have made it to Jemez.
