Only for those Seeking Adventure!

Welcome to Hot Springs, Phil and Debbie are here to help you plan your Trip.

We want to be the "Ambassadors and Tour Guides"
for those seeking a Unique Experience !

The temperatures have been a little warm this summer to say the least.
If you are looking for a way to "Cool Off" and at the same time do something different and unique we suggest you consider a visit to the Wegner Crystal Mine 

We took our granddaughters and they loved the "Adventure".

You will have the opportunity to "dig for" Crystals and experience something out of the ordinary!

Remember this is not a trip for everyone.

This is ONLY for those individuals who:

• seek adventure
• enjoy off the road activities
• recognize and support an environmental balance with Nature
• will  appreciate  finding crystals with your own hands
• relish in getting hands and clothes a little dirty
• If still interested then check them out at http://www.wegnercrystalmines.com/  870-867-2309
