I like it! I was just recently (within a month) at the Peoria mineral springs. I've heard about it for some time, but never knew where it was. Thanks to this site, I found it. Just curious though, when I was recently there, the old stone stairway from the sidewalk was almost completely gone (or buried in mud). Only about half a step remained. Also, some of the barrel vaulted ceiling of the springs' structure had collapsed about 4 feet back from the chained iron door leaving a huge gaping hole big enough for a person to fit through (I didn't try this though). Is this a recent development? The blog entry above doesn't describe this or show any pics like this. Some recent pics for a geocaching site show what I'm talking about (scroll to the bottom of the site for pic links). http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=a2241949-47e2-430c-9aa1-9279c20b02b2 First, this is an interesting and unique blog.

I walked past this house, through those woods and used to marvel at that spring as it trickled down out of the woods, and across the sidewalk (actually Seventh St). We used to take our shoes off and let our feet get wet from the spring water. There were times when we were further up in the woods that the spring was running down and the water was crystal clear!
