DEEP CREEK HOT SPRINGS 10 23,24 2010
Great trip to le ole dep crek. Bypassed the Bowen Raunch and parked near the freedom trailhead. Truck kept crapping out so only made it about 1/4 mile to the freedom trailhead. Hiked in about 4pm Sat and soaked well into the night. We shared the hot springs with group of young nudists called VitaNuda. Nice people. Spent the night under the stars and got up early to soak for a few then took off before the sun got too high.
Looks like a nice trip. This time of year is perfect for Deep Creek. I think I will head up there soon.I see in the second to last pic that you guys are using the Katadyn Hiker filter. The nipple that connects the water inlet hose is very fragile.Mine and my cousins broke on us. I recommend using that lube they give you for the O-ring on that nipple.
yeah the input barb broke on mine and they sent me another one free of charge. i just store it with the tube disconnected. the weather was absolutely perfect, it was supposed to be low 40s at night but it didnt feel that way at all (probably all the whiskey). maybe we will see each other on the trail some time.
