Soda Springs

While we were in Preston, ID for a family reunion we decided to make a day trip up to Soda Springs. Ken went there as a child and had fond memories.


It was a pretty cool place. There is soda water coming right up out of the ground. We took some from the spring and added a little drink mix and you could hardly taste the sulfur at all!
We decided to put some in a water bottle to give to little cousins to try, but by the next day the water went from clear and bubbly to a cloudy orange like in the picture. Gross. I drank that.
I guess I should've been tipped off a bit more by the water surrounding the spring and common sense.
Anywho, it really was a fun memory, but the longest I'd ever driven for a drink of gross water.

I don't remember the water being orange... I remember it being clear. Hmmm. Maybe Brad remembers it being orange. I'm glad you guys didn't get sick!
