Still in Truth or Consequences




We decided to stay in T or C longer. We are comfy here and the price is right. I'm blogging early today - we're going out for dinner and a movie tonight!  The movie theater is open Wed., Sat & Sun and only a couple blocks away - American Sniper is showing. Yesterday we took a mineral hot springs soak. Our RV park is also a spa/bathhouse and we get to soak for 1/2 price. There are 10 or 11 natural hot spring spas in town. In its heyday, people came from all over for healing (even the Apaches back in their day). In fact the town used to be named Hot Springs. In the 1950's, the town voted to change its name to Truth or Consequences for a TV show promotion. The spas are attempting to make a comeback, but there are quite a few empty buildings. The 3rd picture is Geronimo at the Geronimo Springs Museum. The others are just pics around town.

Comments from Eldon: The hot springs are artesian so there is no pump. You just open a valve and fill your tub. It takes less than 10 minutes to fill a very large tub - the water is extremely hot, at least 100 degrees. Maybe too hot - the cold shower after felt good! Imagine I might have sat in the same tub Geronimo peed in........

Comments from Harry: Hot springs must be good for cats. The feral cats around here are huge - or I should say enorme.
