If you're one of the first to arrive in the spring, you may find logs from the previous year have been displaced. Thus, it's handy to have a small shovel to dig into the lake bed and allow hot water to bubble into your own "pool." Plus, this spot gets its fair share of use, so digging your own pool, thus avoiding other soakers, is a guaranteed path to serenity. Don't expect to swim and soak up to your ears in these pools, as you can in others along this route. Consider it a warm-up for what's to come.
