Soap Lake


The last weekend in September, we decided to take a trip to Soap Lake, about a 2.5 hour drive SE from Seattle, WA. We tagged along with Astra, Brian and Eric who've been there before (o.k, it's Brian's first time too) and sang its praises. This lake is suppose to contain minerals that promote skin healing/mineralization. We stayed at the "Inn at Soap Lake", appropriately named since its back door sits pretty much right at the lake. The thing to do is wade out into the middle of the lake where it's much deeper until your feet feels like it's stepping in jelly. Collect the mud in buckets to bring back to shore, apply on skin and bake until dry. The black mud at the bottom of the lake feels creamy and cold, and smells like sulfur Phew!! So we slap the stuff on everywhere, even in my hair! and the after effects is smooth skin and shiny hair. It was a great experience and we would definately do it again! Here's the mud people:
