Into the Wild Turkey: the Hunt For the Site of Long-Demolished OMG Hot Springs!

Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #522
Date of Adventure: 3/17/21

While down at the Salton Sea, my friend New Scott and I decided to try and find the site of an old naked hippie encampment called Oh My God! hot spring, where Christopher McCandless (from the book/movie Into the Wild) spent time. The springs were bulldozed back in 1993, but we figured we could at least camp out naked and raise a toast to the memory. But the precise location of these hot springs proved surprisingly difficult to find! It took all our brainpower --and the help of my Facebook page community -- to figure out this mystery. Were we able to celebrate victory with Into the Wild Turkey cocktails? Tune in to find out!  

Special thanks to Victor for sending me his old family photos of the springs! They proved invaluable in our hunt!
