Hot Springs FAIL (Looking for the HIDDEN warm springs in Warm Springs Canyon)

Still don't know how deep the pool is going to be. There is a little bit of water in the creek though. This could get interesting. I'm in Warm Springs Canyon today. Off of Lake Hughes Road, north of Castaic Lake, halfway between Castaic Lake and Lake Hughes. I don't know if you've noticed, but it's been a little chilly in LA. There's been a cold snap for the past week, and I thought today I would go out and explore and look for maybe a hot spring. Maybe a Warm Springs in this case. I came across this website where NOAA has mapped all, supposedly all of the natural hot springs in the United States. I saw this one that fascinated me. Coincidentally, it occurs in Warm Springs Canyon here. And it gives you a location on a map, but that location seems to be totally dry because that point on the map is right over here by the side of the road, about 50 feet off of this road here. So I don't know if there was a rock slide that covered the spring up, or if it's up one of these hills here. That's what I'm doing today, looking for a warm spring. I mean, you know, I could have gone to Deep Creek Hot Springs or wanted to do a full weekend backpacking, go to like the Cespe Hot Springs, but I had never heard of this one, Warm Springs, before. So I figured, go check this out, see if I can find it. And this is pretty much where on the map it's supposed to be. There is a stream on that side, which I haven't checked yet to see if it's warm. I doubt it. I don't know. I don't know if I need to like bushwhack up this hill. So we're looking for warm springs today in Warm Springs Canyon. Well, this could end up being a very short video today. I don't see any sign of a warm springs, at least on that side of the road. I mean, there is flowing water down here. I guess take a look down here. Go see what's going on down here. I just drove about an hour up here from LA. All right. Did we hit the mother load? Is this a giant warm spring right here? Definitely not warm. One might even say it's cold. So far Warm Springs Canyon. Yeah, not living up to its name. I'll tell you that much. Possible that the warm spring is mixing with this cold water here somewhere. But I have no idea how I would, how I would even figure that out. So there's no, really no evidence. There's really no evidence of water on the side of the street where the map says it should be. And then this water definitely not warm. Huh, this might be a, this might be a swing and a miss guys. Damn it Noah. National. Oceanic. Aeronautical. Atmospheric. Whatever your initials stand for. How dare you? How dare you tell me there's a hot springs? Warm Springs. So they say they even have it mapped with the temperature. 92 degrees Fahrenheit. So like I thought they were using like satellites or something to like thermal imagery or something. I don't know. How do they know it's 92? How do they know it's there? When did they map this? Well, I am standing exactly in the spot where the Noah map says there's a 92 degree warm spring here. Presumably what gives Warm Springs Canyon its name. As you can see, there's been a little rock slidage happening here. I can only assume that the warm spring has been filled in. I don't know how long it's been filled in. Some of you might be more familiar with the area than I am. And you're saying to yourself, dude, there's been no warm spring for like 100 years. Well, that's cool. Thanks for telling me. Hit me up in the comments. Let me know if you know where the warm springs in Warm Springs Canyon is. If there is one. If there ever was one in your lifetime, in your grandparents lifetime. Because today it looks like I struck out. But have no fear because I have a backup plan. Plan B. We're headed up Lake Hughes Road to Fish Creek. It's a spot I've been wanting to hit for a while. I was going to wait for a little more rain. But there is a waterfall there that you can slide. A natural water slide. You can also do some cliff jumping there. I got a couple hours till sunset. I don't know if there's water. I don't know if I'm going to be able to find it. But I got to save this video somehow. No warm spring here in Warm Springs Canyon. So up Lake Hughes Road to Fish Creek. And then a mile hike to Fish Creek. We'll see if that's flowing. And if it is, I'm going to slide it. I don't care if it's cold. I don't care, guys. Okay? Because I got to get some action in. I got to get some adrenaline. I got to fuel the ride home. Because I can't just go home. Ride home for an hour without hitting a Warm Springs or a natural water slide. And just driving up here and sticking my thumb up my butt. Okay? Because that's not what I like to do. I don't like to drive around for two hours sticking my thumb up my butt. All right? Nothing's wrong with that if that's what you like. But me personally, not a big fan. So plan B, let's go Fish Creek. See if we can find this natural water slide up there. Let's do it. Well, three miles up the road from the Warm Springs Canyon is Fish Creek here. Which is looking pretty bone dry. So there's this bridge. And you park on the other side of the bridge. And looking pretty dry here in Fish Creek. So it's not a good sign. Totally bone dry. Cool story burrow. I've got like an hour and 15 minutes until sunset. So I'm doing this mainly so I know where it is for next time. If we ever get any more rain up in here. Ho, ho, ho. Hold the phone. There appears to be some water. Uh, still don't know how deep the pool is going to be. There is a little bit of water in the creek though. This could get interesting. Beautiful narrow canyon back here. And I thought I was all good because I hadn't seen any poison oak. Then I saw some. So I got to keep an eye out for that now. Yeah, this is sweet. This is a nice canyon. Definitely some, some idiots come out here. Because I see the rocks and the trees spray painted. Which makes no sense to me. Well, I'm assuming this is one of the pools. But it's got it kind of dammed up here. As you can see it's pretty dry. They got like a rope swing there. So I don't know about the slide. But I imagine it's not too much further up. But it doesn't look, it's not looking promising. Well, made it here. This is definitely a spot with the amount of graffiti. Got a nice size lower pool. An upper pool that they dammed off with some sandbags. Plenty of graffiti. So you know the place is frequented by assholes. Oh yeah. Definitely not enough water in this pool to slide. Fish creek slide. Sketchy ladder there. I'm not going to bother climbing the ladder. Supposedly the pool up top is deeper. Which doesn't mean much because this is about, you know, four inches deep right now. But you can do like a jump into the top pool. Usually this one's shallower. So sliding is the best way to go. I guess if it gets deep enough you could jump it. But it looks like my instincts were right. I should have waited for more rain. Because I'm definitely not sliding that four inches of water in the pool. I don't even know. I probably won't even come back here to be honest. Like I mean maybe if we get a big storm or something like that. And it's during the week and cold or cloudy. And I know nobody's going to be here. I'm just so turned off. I mean I love natural slides. But I'm so turned off by the graffiti. It's disgusting. It disgusts me. And if you're a local. Is that how you respect your place? You know? You should be upset if you're a local. And people are coming into your house. Into your neighborhood. Into your beautiful natural landscape. And treating it like this. If you're a local you should be disgusted and ashamed of yourself. This is not how we represent. This is not how we take care of ourselves. I mean you're almost as bad as Trump. He might be doing less damage to the environment than you're doing. Maybe not. Maybe that's going a little too far. You want this place to be around for future generations. For your kids. For your younger siblings. And this is how you treat it? There's plenty of abandoned buildings and walls and man-made stuff. That doesn't take millions and billions of years to form. That you can be painting. Hell. Get a piece of paper. Novel idea man. Markers. Paper. Sketchbook. This is not a blank canvas. This is already perfect without your artwork. I'm sorry if I sound like a broken record. If you guys watch my channel a lot it's just it's really frustrating and pisses me off. But that's what happens when you live near one of the biggest cities in the world right? You're gonna have a larger amount of idiots like this. Guys don't let this discourage you. You know I still got outside. I still explored. I still went somewhere that I hadn't been before. The more people like you and me. The more of Team Infamous we can get out there. Talking against this kind of behavior. The better it will be in the long run. The more it's going to benefit everyone. So get out there. Find your adventure. And be infamous. Infamous.
