Today, Nat Warner brought us to Thermopolis, a regional hot spring in the southern Big Horn Basin. As for keeping up with our pushups, some of the guys tried some extreme group pushups to pass time at the gas station. When we got to Thermopolis, Nat walked us through permeability and porosity, complete with soil demos. We discussed groundwater flows and geothermal gradients in order to figure out why the spring happens where it does. Driving up the Wind River Canyon, we saw all the units the water flows down and through as it travels to its destination. After a long, hot day, we all got the chance to soak in the springs.
