Great new edition!

I first purchased an edition of your book in the early 90s. Last month, while in Calistoga, I purchased the 1998 edition and I want to let you know it is just great. I enjoyed reading about the additional springs in this edition. Descriptions of places I've stayed or used are quite accurate, and, in fact, I designed one vacation to New Mexico around the spots mentioned in your book. Thanks so much for compiling the information in this book.

Getting in hot water can be a lot of fun!

I've thoroughly enjoyed this book, as well as it's sister volume for the Northwest. It adds an extra dimension to my travels. Springs are listed as commercial or "wild" type springs, and also categorized by water temperature and ease of access. I prefer wild springs, but as a relatively lazy sybarite, I won't bother with a spring that's only "warm" when the access is moderate or difficult. On the other hand, if the review is great and the water nice and hot, I don't mind a hike. Definitely use directions in conjunction with a road map as recommended; some springs are in squirrely locations. A spring we visited in New Mexico last year was truly breathtaking and one of the highlights of the trip.
