We all piled in Ryan's car and started our bumpy drive to the natural hot springs at Oak Springs near Hesperia, CA. I'm pretty sure that was one of Lauren's favorite car rides! :) We hiked about 45 minutes down to the hot springs where we crossed a waste high river, climbed up some rocks past the three-tiered springs. We found our campsite, enjoyed our dinner, and headed back to the springs to enjoy some relaxation. Before I left to, Hannah told me, "whatever you do, don't put your head under the water." I managed to slip climbing down, and fell right into the water... and my head went under the water, but I'm still alive! The next morning as I tried to get in a different spring I slipped and fell as well, so I was 2 for 2 trying to get into the springs. The drive out was less eventful.

We spent the next couple of days in LA and then I flew out on Tuesday. It was such a memorable trip, and I look forward to many more!
