What is it with wacky, rural Coloradans and hand-built castles? Does the west attract eccentrics, or does the secluded life drive them there?

The video is of the upper pools at Valley View Hot Springs. This time of year, you can have them all to yourself! The water temp hovers just below 100°, so it’s really quite perfect for a sunny day soak.
