Dirt

Trying to find a hot springs in New Mexico, June 2006:

So the directions I had to the not springs didn't help at all.  When interweb directions fail, ask a local.  So far on this trip locals have been nothing less than kind and helpful, which was the case here.  After asking one tavern owner and one elderly hispanic man on a dirt road, i managed to find my way down a mile of dirt road through a side canyon to the rio grande at the bottom of its gorge.  Cross and old iron bridge over the river and park.  Then when I couldn't ride anymore, I parked and began to hike..  I came upon a rocked off puddle on the side of the river.  Out of curiosity i put my hand in.  Sure enough, it was over 100 degrees.
