Hot Spring Soakers Use Tech To Get Wet

from the nothing-is-hidden-any-more dept

It seems that "natural wonders" are becoming easier to find, thanks to technology. People who are interested in natural hot springs are going on the web and finding the exact locations which they can then plug into a GPS system to find. Some people think this takes away the fun of trying to hunt down the hot springs, but others don't really care about the hunt. They just want to get in the water.

    Now that remote hot spring you painstakingly located is more likely to have other people's germs in it.

      don't worry, the anamals are usually able to find
      the hot springs with out GPS equipment and trust
      me, they've visited it long before you (if you're
      worried about germs, a hot spring is the wrong place to be).

  • possibly, maybe...

    ...you could combine this with geocaching, so that
    folks can find a few of the little gifts I left
    at the last hotspring I visited (there's a reason
    Japanese people wash *before* entering a hot
    spring).
