Tallheo Hot Spring, has been a rollercoaster of an adventure location for me. Two out of three visits now, this spring has tried to get the best of me, but never the less I still love it there. My first visit to Tallheo was the scariest, because I was stuck here surviving for four days due to engine failure and injury. It was winter at that time and I wasn't quite sure how I was going to make it out, but the important part is that I did. My second visit, the redemption trip, was a huge success and I enjoyed every moment of it, but the third was again a challenge. The trip its self was a success, and went without any difficulties, but the following day revealed the sting of Tallheo once again. I woke up feeling okay, but with a strange and very painful red bump on my chest. By 10:00am I began to get very ill, and noticed veins coming from the bump into my arm pit. Things progressed worse and worse for the rest of that day, to the point that I had to go into the hospital. The doctor doesn't know for sure, but we are guessing the infection came from a parasite in the hot spring, and things got very serious very fast. I am coming up on my second week on strong antibiotics, and still battling the infection. I hope that things will clear up very soon, but I know for sure I will be taking some more precautions before enjoying natural hot springs again.
With all of the challenges aside, this trip was extra special because I got to share it with Emi. She has been visiting me in Canada from Japan for the past month, and it was so nice to get to take her out and enjoy some of our beautiful province, especially the remote secrets I love the most. I got to make her a beautiful crab dinner, and enjoy the little cabin by the ocean. All in all, this was an absolutely wonderful trip.
If you wish to make the trip to these hot springs, please be very diligent with your planning and preparing, as this can be a very dangerous area to visit on the ocean. If you would like to help support the channel, and bring more places like this, far and wide, please take a look at the following.
