April 11 - Tractor ride

We woke up very early on this day to take a tractor ride up a mountain. It does not sound very fun, but literally we went UP A MOUNTAIN. It wasn't like one of those tractor rides where you go around a corn field or up a hill, this was literally up a huge, rocky, steep mountain. The trip was a lot of fun, and we all had a great time. After we got back down from the mountain we went for a swim in one of the ponds on the base of the mountain. The water was very clean and refreshing because the mountain has a natural spring that empties into the pond. After swimming for a bit we went to the hot springs just outside of Montague. This place was like a large hot tub. Instead of a pool of cold water this was a pool of warm, steamy water. I got very suspicious though because I did not see any restrooms.....sooooo yeah. After the hot springs we went to dinner at a local restaurant called "Preston's". I discovered a very good micro beer from South Africa, which is interesting because SA is only known for wine. But overall it was a great, relaxing day for everyone in the group.
