The hot spring trend continues...
This hot spring is unique as hell. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, a dangerous rock sidle over slippery rock. One section requiring rope for a handhold.

Here, a crack in the rocks beside the gorged river spanning 10m or so with about 3-4 vents of sizzling hot water. Two pools form under two of the vents.
The river was high, drowning the larger pool, but the smaller high pool was the PERFECT temperature, with two hot flows balanced by a small cooler one. It doesn't look comfy or deep, but it was DELIGHTFUL!

[Morgan Gorge (Waitaha River) - New Zealand]

Soaking in bliss in one freakin' hot spring! With some engineering of rocks and sediment, I was able to balance the hot and cold flows to create a pool of perfect hotness!
The large pool was just TOO DAMN HOT! 🔥I couldn't even put my foot in it.
Soon thereafter, I became a tourist attraction as helicopters started diverting flybys above me to exploit my sexy semi-naked bliss! 😂 (sure Matt, that's really what happened 🙄)
