I finally got to bed at 1.30am and heard no more rustling. I would have loved to stay another night in that freedom camp, but the thought of Russell coming back terrified me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About ten minutes up the road was a natural hot spring. It was just on the side of the highway and a short walk down to it. There were only one other couple in there. I think they were Mexican as they didn\u2019t speak any English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The water was crystal clear and the perfect temperature. It was nice to have a warm bath as it\u2019s a week or so since we showered. That\u2019s part of the fun of van life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After our soak we felt very refreshed and continued 30 minutes up the road to craters of the moon, which is a huge lava field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We did some beautiful hikes, and climbed up a volcano with stunning views from the top. then we decided to camp at the craters of the moon national park camp for only $4 a night. It was pretty cool camping in a lava field!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We met a lady we\u2019d met a couple of days ago. She\u2019s touring on her own with her dog, Blossom. She invited us over to sit around her gas fireplace, which was like a real fire without the smell!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a nice evening chatting. She is from LA and works from home, and travels 3 months every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No critter noises tonight, so that was a bonus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
