Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
We just told y’all about a hot springs resort in Arizona, but not everyone is just rolling in money to spend on a lavish vacation. For those of us who live more modestly, there are two spring-fed hot tubs near Safford that don’t cost a single penny. Check it out:
Hiding in the vast desert landscape just east of Tucson is a little-known oasis. See that ornate square of trees on the left? Within its confines lie two spring-fed hot tubs that few people are aware even exist.
Now solar powered due to drought, the tubs only operate during daylight hours. Even if you usually prefer soaking after dark, this deviation from the norm is not just environmentally friendly, but an unforgettable experience in all aspects.
Picture this: high-powered aqua jets are massaging your entire body, loosening up any stubborn knots or sore muscles. Looking around, you'll see nothing but undulating sandy hills extending endlessly into the distance. Allow yourself to melt; legs, torso, and finally shoulders, into the blissful healing bath.
So kick your boots off, hop in, and let the warm water work its magic. Upon returning to the real world after such a transformative getaway, you'll be ready to take on whatever adversities life has in store.
You'll find the hot tubs east of Highway 191, between Wilcox and Safford. If you own an off-road vehicle, bring it along for some extra fun on the dunes!
