Ahh now, that's the whole point of soaking in thermal waters. Your worries just melt away.

It can be like a meeting of the league of nations - not the kind that's resolving conflict either. Can't leave them out. It's fun to chat with the visitors and locals alike. And how is it that visitors hear about this place when many locals are unaware of its existence? Suitable for any age. In addition to yourself, just make sure any children with you don't go putting their heads under the water.
I wrote about the danger of Amoebic Meningitis on the Kerosene Creek page. You can also download a Health Education pamphlet if you wish to learn more. Not really suitable for the physically disabled. Stairs have to be navigated and then there can be a bigger step into the water where you have to clamber over submerged rocks. The ability to move reasonably fastish if a jet of extra hot water heads your way would be helpful too. The stream bed is uneven in places with sudden drops thigh height sometimes.
When Worlds Collide
It's bad enough for able-bodied people. When Kerosene Creek is hot, it's way hot. Too hot for many people actually. Just ask my brother and niece. I was wondering if the temperature has something to do with how much rain we have or don't have.

With Hot 'n' Cold you get the option of moving to cooler parts so it should suit everyone. I've read a few complaints about the pools. It's too gritty and dirty. My polite reply to that?
It's a non-commercial setting so that means au naturel and not stripped, filtered and sanitised to death. Besides, it's volcanic so of course everything stinks of sulphur. Oh yes, expect to exit the water with grit in your swimwear too - if you're wearing any. Some swim nude, most don't. With that said, there are some legitimate complaints. Cities also often build parks at confluences, sometimes as projects of municipal improvement, as at Portland and Pittsburgh.
In other cases, a confluence is an industrial site, as in Philadelphia or Mannheim. Often a confluence lies in the shared floodplain of the two rivers and nothing is built on it, for example at Manaus , described below. One other way that confluences may be employed by humans is as a sacred place in a religion. Rogers suggests that for the ancient peoples of the Iron Age in northwest Europe, watery locations were often sacred, especially sources and confluences.
Occasionally "confluence" is used to describe the meeting of tidal or other non-riverine bodies of water, such as two canals [18] or a canal and a lake. The term confluence also applies to the merger of the flow of two glaciers. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other uses, see Confluence disambiguation.

Although studies have analyzed the characteristics and effects of tidal bores, scientists still face challenges in predicting them. On a larger scale, ocean tides can be thought of as very long waves with peaks separated by hundreds of kilometers. The authors highlight the physics of how these long waves travel up rivers and the resulting effects, noting that interest in these effects greatly increased in after a storm surge flooded much of the coast of the southern North Sea.

Since then, increasingly sophisticated equations and models have been developed to describe long-wave dynamics. These models take into account the seaward flow of the river, as well as friction caused by water flow over coastal wetlands and other factors. Today, some models calibrated with gauge station data can predict tidal river surface level on the basis of river discharge and conditions at sea.
Interactions between river discharge and tides can also be used to subtract the influence of tides when estimating river flow into the ocean. Branching river deltas also pose unique challenges for scientists. Networks of multiple water channels introduce much more complexity than is seen in a single channel.
