Underground Hot Springs
Underground Hot Springs
There's a rumor that there is an underground area of Hot Springs that has old buildings and even cars. This area was supposedly built over when the street would flood and the current block(s) are 25' or more above the old level.
Does anyone have any information on this? Has anyone been down there?

RE: Underground Hot Springs
Sounds interesting.
What's the point of making a point if the point you are trying to make is pointless? Do you get my point?

Re: Underground Hot Springs
Hell ya it would, but without anyone knowing anything its going to take a bit of sleuth work to figure out how to get down there... assuming the rumor is true.
RE: Underground Hot Springs
Anyone ever talk to LevyRat anymore? He covered Hot Springs. Maybe he knows something?
Re: Underground Hot Springs
Ok, There was a show cave in Hot Springs but I can't find any info on it. Not sure where I saw it. Crystal Cave? Closed for years

Re: Underground Hot Springs
I've heard this rumor before. It was supposed to be in the area of the Bath Houses. There is supposed to be a large tunnel suppling the springs hot water to all the Bath Houses. Due to floods and the needs of the houses, the original street was "built up" around 25 feet.
"Anyone else smell that?"
Re: Underground Hot Springs
Next time I'm down there I'll do a little digging...metaphorically of course
I refuse to answer that question on the basis that I don't know the answer.
Re: Underground Hot Springs
I did some historical research and found that they did just this. Rumor is the access point is, well let me say in public, right out in the open.TooMuchCoffee wrote:I've heard this rumor before.

Re: Underground Hot Springs
Is it gated? And would you mind providing the general vicinity around that bath houses?

Hey Arkie not to far from it. There is actually a place called Crystal Cave. Sad and disappointing though!! Last summer we were just cruising HS on the bike checking things out. We went down this side street and drove past a building that said Crystal Cave! Yes a cave.... no disappointment!!!! It was closed but the owner lived next door. Well, I am not shy so I walked onto the porch knocked and got an answer.
She let us in to check it out. It's man made and is no cave!!! Someone built kind a cave thing in this and put millions of thousands of crystals lining th walls and the cieling it was cool effect but for a caver it was sadly disappointing! I was hoping for dark, wet and muddy!
I have a card laminated from the origional owner that used to run the place and that built it. It has what you used to have to pay to check it out that was kinds cool. I will take a picture of it and put it on here monyana!!
They called it domesticated, tamed, feminized ... is there a pill I can take to get rid of it??
