We made it to the camp registration before they closed and were able to set up the trailer in the last shreds of daylight. David had it all ready for the night in 12 minutes! I think he got that many mosquito bites in the same amount of time as well. We have plenty of Benadryl cream but miscommunicated who had the bug spray. We will have to make that a priority before evening tomorrow for sure.
We took a short walk on a boardwalk around one of the first hot springs we came across and there was not a railing or anything. Despite the warning sign to stay on the boardwalk, it was so tempting to go go feel the water. With the kids there, I had to be a good role model and respect the rules, but I sooooo wanted to see how hot it was. After we got back in the car, I was reading one of the informational brochures and it said that the ground surrounding the springs is very thin, fragile and the water scalding hot and people have broken through and died. Wow! That info would have been helpful on the little "Stay on Designated Trails and Walkways" sign. Well, I am glad the kids were with me to keep me honest-and safe!
