Soaking Swede, I have never had any such trouble at the Freedom trail. That is why they call it the Freedom trail. No money, no clothes and no problems. Several years ago I spent 8 days there with 8 other friends and we all were naked the whole 8 days. Of course the weather was a perfect 80 degrees during the day and 70 degrees at night with a full moon too. I think it was in June also.

I asked that question in previous post and got no reply, I am curious. I heard from a some friends of Davids and mine that they were near a resolution to an agreement at the last hearing. But, the victim protested and David was back in jail. My friends do NOT want to be identified. They are close to the judicial process. It is safe to assume David will be broke when he is freed.

GT soaker, Sounds like you got too close to their home. Get too close to my home and I might bite you on the arm also. (just kiddn) That is what I love about that place, frogs at dawn and dusk. Then bees all day long. And in the spring and fall, flowers. Some times the water flows several yards down the switch back and some times it is just swampy. How was the flow 2 weeks ago?by jobe - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

firesoul, You may also bring along a cooler with ice and drinks. Then on the way out use the cooler to carry trash out. I usually freeze some water bottles in my freezer and take them with me. They thaw during the day and give much pleasure. I always say "the weather is always perfect once at DCHS. No matter what ! " But some are more fragile than me.

I should have mentioned, most people should have high ground clearance before attempting this bumpy dirt road. As it is NOT mantained by any one.by jobe - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
So Cal Free Hiker, Perhaps you should invest in a GPS for hikers. I used to watch mine while hiking there. The Bradford spring is a little more than half the way to the springs from the parking lot. The total distance is 2.4 miles. You might see it tucked behind some tall green grass behind a hair pin turn in the trail. About the 3rd or fourth hair pin turn after you leave the parking lot. The tby jobe - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Murray, The rule is to be 1 mile from Deep creek. Not 1 mile up or down stream. If you are using the Bradford ridge there are several pleasant valleys with flat spot places to camp 1 mile from the creek. If you know where the Bradford spring is that is .9 of a mile from the creek. So you can use that as a marker. My favorite place is near the freedom trail. It is 1.2 miles from the springs andby jobe - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I'll bet it made for a good day at the springs.

No Paul, The guy who was being rude when I was at DCHS 2 weeks ago was not Pablo. Pablo was an American of German descent who went to Mexico to avoid the Vietnam draft. His real Name was Paul Klein. His wife dyed her hair blond for 1 summer, but was Mexican. When Jimmy Carter pardoned the draft dodgers he came back here.

He told me , but I only remember the names of nice people nowa days. I do remember he was an ass at Black's beach also. He would critisize your way of playing volleyball and ask that you not play because you did not play according to his standards. Then put down the textiles there too. He did not like the way I played volleyball because I have one hellofa way of spiking the ball. And too aggressiby jobe - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

While web surfing blogs about hot springs I came across a person who identified this bacterium as the hot springs rash. Do not eat peanut butter while saying pseudomonas aeruginosa. That is the name of the bacteria that causes the hot tub rash.

Sunshine, This is what I did in that situation. I am a 6'2" -200 male. I got in his face and humiliated him in public. I have known this same guy from hanging out at Blacks beach near San Diego back in the early 90's. He has black hair with some grey streaks growing. He is @ my size so I can do this and get away with it. He told me he still hangs out there a lot. He used to dominate theby jobe - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Paul, I can not tell if you are incouraging me to go or discouraging me to go on my favorite hike. Everyone already knows it will be crowded. No body cares if it will be textile or NAKED. At least I can care less. More information needed to make a decision ??? What is your point ??? See you there .by jobe - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
It will be a SAD day when Californians can not afford to sh-- in the woods. What Arnold is doing is only common sense. If the state can not afford something. What he should have done is form an exploratory committee to see how much would be saved monetarily by this action. The repercussions for us is this : 1) No safety net for most who encounter dangers in the states parks. 2) Everyone cby jobe - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

That is why they (guns) are called equalizers. They should be equalizers under law. One should not be made a criminal JUST for having one. Which is now the case. WARNING !

Celtfire, The first group was a part of a running club near Orange county. They had run to the springs in less than 29 minuets, for exercise. They were in their 30,s.
