Los Angeles Swimmin | IMPERIAL VALLEY HOT SPRINGS

Sup yall, on this trip Dress Kanz and Throb went on a weekend getaway to sit in some hot springs out in the Imperial Valley. First we stopped at Slab City Hot Springs out in Niland. We went to Salvation Mountain and stomped around a bit before we soaked. The water temperature was pretty hot so we only went in for a few minutes then soaked our feet for a couple hours.

Next we went to Five Palm Hot Spring out near Brawley. We got in around 5pm and soaked till 8pm. The water temperature was around 97 degrees. We shared the springs with a bunch of frogs. After sunset the bats came out of the palm trees and fed on the bugs flying around. We camped near the springs and woke up early and soaked again before heading to Holtville.

Out at Holtville we soaked for a few hours then drove around the desert and got stuck in the sand. Thankfully Willie Nelson came out and towed us out from the sand. Thanks again dude.
