Agua Fria Springs

So a few weeks ago Bradwell decided to take me out to Agua Fria Springs. 
{In the 4 years that I have known him he has NEVER been in cold water. We will go to Vegas and in 105 degree weather he will sit in the hot tub because the pool is too cold.} 
We drive out there, it is 15 miles off road. We find this amazingly beautiful spot in the middle of no where. Bradwell tells me that we have to climb around on these rocks to get to the spring, we can't just walk into the spring as it is too muddy. Well, I didn't believe him and tried to walk through the mud, I slipped and fell and got my brand new bathing suit and running shoes completely muddy. Not just muddy but clay muddy and I through a fit. Once I calm down I start to hike climb up and around the rocks. 
Bradwell climbs up on this rock and jumps off, he does this a couple of times and then comes to where I am at and tells me to go jump off and he will take my picture. Again Bradwell has never been in cold water since I have known him so, I am thinking this is a cool spring or something not a freezing spring. I get up to the rock and jump off, and this water was so cold it hurt!! I am not kidding I couldn't get out of this water fast enough!! I should have known better especially since Reina puppy wouldn't even get in the water.
We got in a mud fight and ended up covered in mud. Bradwell told me it was healing mud and that people pay a pretty penny for a treatment like this free mud bath.  At the time this seemed like a good idea but when it came time to wash off in the spring I refused to get back in the water; so i ended up going home all muddy.
This would be a great place to go back to explore on a hot summer day and even camp there; during the winter its a cool hiking place but the spring is not so much.
