One of my bestest friends from my single days in San Jose... and former roommate Brianne... was getting married in Las Vegas... so a few of us met up in Moapa near where Brianne grew up and went swimming a few days before at Warm Springs.

This place is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and run by their missionaries. It has a few swimming areas formed by hot springs.

This area has a beautiful lush group of palm trees out in the middle of this dessert area that line the swimming areas and road into this beautiful place!

There was another group of people swimming there with us... but I wanted to get pictures of how pretty it is!

Unfortunately... yesterday (July 1st, 2010) a fire broke out and destroyed this beautiful oasis. I read that a wood chipper caused a spark that started the fire. Several nearby houses were destroyed and the buildings on the LDS Warm Springs property were destroyed as well as the palm trees. SAD! SAD! SAD! :(
