Ghost Story: The Train

🚂💨 A steam locomotive ran on train tracks by Lava's Sunken Gardens over 70 years ago.

Word is that train is still running, maybe you've even seen it during your soak ♨️

Look at how well this was built without modern construction equipment. 🔨

We can only imagine what these guys would have thought about all the construction we managed to do in the past year. 🏗️

At a time without central heating, the sensation of warmth was felt in the sun ☀️ or from a fire. 🔥

Imagine the fascination with hot water bubbling through on a cold winter day. No need to prep the water for hours to warm it up, it was immediately ready.

You can guess how the water got nicknamed after chicken soup. 🍲♨️

Thank You, Contractors! You made our dreams come true! ❤️

We are loving our renovated pool, which would not have happened without our amazing contractors.

This was a huge undertaking with many moving parts and specialized experts, and it took a whole team to complete.

Your hard work, craftmanship, and dedication made this project possible. Incredible job!! ♨️
