FUN WATCHING THE TOURIST WIPE OUT !

Here is Cora sitting on the edge of one of the hot springs cones, this one is right outside the Sheriffs Office. This is one of many on display throughout town. Behind her is the chamber of commerce. The hill above is where they hold lots of concerts - from famous Symphonies to Blue Grass Festivals. We have such a cute town. On weekends the river behind her is a major source of entertainment. Lots of Hot Springs feed the river so many people in town as well as tourists go to the edge of the river sit in hot springs and then grab a tube, kayak, canoe, or just jump in with nothing but their suits and go down the rapids through the falls. Just an FYI - the canoes never make it over the falls with out tipping over into a complete wipe-out. Oh, and another FYI - people in town never use a canoe. They save those for all the tourists. When a canoe starts down the river the townspeople just sit on the sides of the rivers or watch from above from the riverwalk or bridges... just laughing and taking pictures. It is a great time...
