I saw an article on Summer Lake Hot Springs where it described the healing waters as magical, so I booked a weekend getaway with my wife. After arriving, I noticed something the website didn’t say. Clothing was optional. The bathing area was a large community pool located in the bath house. What I saw in there was about 15 people and no one was wearing clothes. Not wanting to be the odd ones we found a changing room and proceeded to change out of our suits. But after disrobing, I looked at myself in front of a full size mirror and I had serious concerns. When I turned sideways I filled the whole mirror and I noticed I had way too much hair where it shouldn’t be and not enough where it should be. Summer Lake is very remote and the thought of being mistaken for Big Foot crossed my mind. To make matters worse it was only 26 degrees and that didn’t help me in any way, whatsoever. I shared my concerns with my wife and asked, “Instead of laughing, how about giving me a few words of encouragement?” She turned to me and said “Well at least your eyesight is still perfect!”
