I tried replying and it looks like it didn't work...&lt;br&gt;I'm sorry no one answered your question before you went.

Did you need special hiking equipment to get through snow?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Julia Avery</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 05 Jan 2018 13:16:12 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Umpqua Hot Springs</title><link>https://soakoregon.com/umpqua-hot-springs/#comment-3689014673</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi! I'm sorry your question didn't get answered but I'm hoping you can help me. I plan to go at the end of January. How was the hike? were you able to get through it? Did you need extra equipment? Do you have any suggestions or tips?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Julia Avery</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jan 2018 20:15:22 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Oregon Hot Springs Map</title><link>https://soakoregon.com/oregon-hot-springs-map/#comment-3683266235</link><description>&lt;p&gt;How can there be so many private/pay hot springs in Southwest Oregon but no public/free ones? It doesn't make sense. It seems like if there's one hot spring in an area then surely there must be more? I realize that southern Oregon is full of hippies that must have at some point had this same idea and yet, there are still no free hot springs in Southwest Oregon? Do I just need to go hiking more often? Am I incorrect in my assumption that one spring could possibly mean other undiscovered springs out there? Thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Syrena Rainbow Nicholson</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 29 Dec 2017 12:15:15 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Foley Hot Springs</title><link>https://soakoregon.com/foley-hot-springs/#comment-3683232828</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Is horse creek on their property?

A lot of the posts I've read have mentioned going to the springs in during the summer or spring season, but few seem to talk about being there during the winter. My friends and I are planning a visit next week (12/26-12/28). We expect it to be cold, possibly snowy. Our biggest concern is having the appropriate gear for this type of hike. Since access roads are closed, how difficult is the hike in? We are moderate hikers and from Los Angeles so snow is not our friend lol&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further, how were the crowds during the winter season? Everyone seems to complain that it's overcrowded. Is this true during December?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your help!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">carlacue</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 19 Dec 2017 15:34:33 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Snively Hot Springs</title><link>https://soakoregon.com/snively-hot-springs/#comment-3668486319</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Spring is looking pretty nice. Much of the pools have been rebuilt. The largest pool still needs lots of work, but we spent a few hours on it this week :) Please do not bring glass bottles and clean up any trash that any bros have left behind. My brother had a 2" shard of glass in his foot after stepping into the big pool. Also, someone pooped at the edge of the pool...don't hesitate to call OSP on gross litterbugs!

I was born and raised in Portland Oregon I'm 50 years old my parents took my family up to olallie Lake and the national forests around the  area our intire childhood at least 10 times a year . Austin Hot Springs was most definitely included in our familly outtings . I have memories with Campground and a well maintained sanitary system . I haven't been up there for the last 7 years and after going up there this Labor Day weekend I do not know if I will return sad to say the entire Forest around the hot springs he's being used as a toilet nobody seems to teach the children or others how to dig a hole and bury your fecal matter. I mean I went on a trail that led to another deer trail and every 10ft there was toilet paper piles as far as you can see disgusting.  this is what happens if it's not maintained by our Forest Service because clearly the general public can't maintain it either or won't. disgusting totally . Come on people teach your children how to clean up after yourselves be proud of you in Oregon and what happened to The Pride I am just makes it saddens me. I have lost for words to describe how I feel our forest or turned into a toilet and yet 150 years ago we live it off these forests go visit it tell me if you want to live off of it now help make Oregon cleaner place to live&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Andy chester</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 03 Sep 2017 12:59:21 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Fisher Hot Springs 2</title><link>https://soakoregon.com/?page_id=49#comment-3486918178</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Anyone know if this hot spring is still open to the public and if not a good alternative in the area?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Kayla Mae Panton</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 25 Aug 2017 16:31:16 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
