  • When I first started bringing my kids in the woods,

  • I wasn't sure how they take to it.

  • And it seems like it's in their blood.

  • Makes me feel real proud.

  • [music playing]

  • Go check out the bath house.

  • We got some work to do ahead of us.

  • Part of having these hot springs is

  • taking care of the hot springs.

  • There's a cold stream that flows next to the bath house.

  • What we're going to do is start working

  • to get this whole place cleaned out,

  • take all the mud out, and hopefully come

  • away with a beautiful bathtub.

  • What we want to do is take these rocks out here and kind

  • of divert the stream going in.

  • We're just getting all this water to flow through.

  • And then it'll take all the mud with it?

  • Yeah.

  • Well, not all this mud.

  • But inside we could stir it up, and get

  • that mud and stuff that's in there on the pallet washed out.

  • OK.

  • Let's go inside.

  • Put on some rubber boots.

  • I want to teach Skyler a little bit of community service.

  • A lot of us use these hot springs.

  • A lot of us use this bath house.

  • And fixing this bath house is teaching

  • him how to be a better person.

  • When it comes to an area, he leaves it a better place.

  • Let's see that bucket.

  • I could fill it up with mud.

  • You can just carry it.

  • Out last time this is done is probably a year or so.

  • The mud has really built up.

  • [music playing]

  • OK.

  • Well, let's keep taking loads of mud out of here.

  • What we want is a sand bottom not a mud bottom.

  • Get all this mud up.

  • Very dark, black mud comes from deep within the Earth.

  • And it basically just settles inside of that bathtub.

  • What I'm trying to do is take a good 6 to 8 inches of mud

  • off the bottom of this bathtub, so it gets

  • to clean, clear water inside.

  • Life's too short for a muddy bath.

  • [music playing]

  • It's getting down to the sand, though, Sky.

  • You are?

  • Yeah.

  • We are.

  • You're doing a lot of work.

  • Skyler is working his butt off.

  • He's taking these pans of mud and dumping them outside.

  • And they're ready to be filled up again.

  • Working together like this, we get a lot of work done.

  • OK.

  • Oh!

  • That was heavy.

  • OK, Sky.

  • Looks like we're about done in here.

  • We got it down to sand.

  • All the mud's out.

  • Good job on carrying all that dirt out.

  • With Skyler's help, we were able to clean

  • that entryway out completely of mud,

  • and it's looking beautiful now.

  • It looks good.

  • You want to close that stream off out there real quick?

  • Yeah.

  • OK.

  • I'm going to dry off.

  • Shut that cold water down.

  • We're done with it.

  • People at home in the city, they're

  • using the cold knob and the hot knob on the faucet

  • to get that perfect temperature.

  • That's what me and Skyler are doing today,

  • but we're using a creek and the hot springs

  • to work out a perfect temperature in this bath house.

  • We really blocked this off right here.

  • [music playing]

  • It should be good.

  • My job in the hot tub is complete.

  • [music playing]
