Just about a mile from Texarkan in them old Cotton fields back home

Today we spent some time exploring Hot Springs, Arkansas.   There is actually HOT water spouting out of springs in the ground in 47 different locations.

In the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas lie “The Valley of the Vapors,” as coined by Hernando DeSoto in 1541 when he discovered what has since become Hot Springs National Park. Prior to DeSoto’s “discovery,” Native Americans from various tribes held the site to be sacred and would gather to bathe in its healing waters. The springs were a place of peace, and no weapon could be raised against another.

The springs produce more than 800,000 gallons of water a day at an average temperature of 143 degrees. The water that flows from the springs today took over 4,000 years to filter down through the sedimentary layers. The heating of the water is caused not by magma or geothermal activity, but by intense pressure as the water is forced back to the surface through small fissures.

The mineral waters of the springs have a reputation for healing illnesses and afflictions for those who drink it or bathe in the waters. People from all walks of life journeyed to the legendary springs seeking a cure for their ailments. Metaphysical circles believe that the veins of quartz running through and beneath the springs lend their healing energies to the waters.
