More info
This is a camping trip to Bagby Hot Springs, not a hot springs trip where we happen to camp. The hot springs are fantastic, but if you're not interested or have an aversion to a clothing optional environment (some wear suits, others do not) you're more than welcome to come just for the camping. The spot we picked last time was a great location with a fire pit next to the river.
- Eric's bringing a camp stove (heavy two-burner, anyone have a backpacking stove?)
