That wasn’t my question, but thank you for ignoring it to give me a lecture I didn’t request and sure as hell am not in the mood for right now. Last time I checked, nobody with any real authority over my personal freedom has ordered me to stay home, let alone stay away from DCHS or anywhere else. I’m not even remotely in the goddamn mood right now for this bullshit from you or anyone else.by TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I have a growing need to head down but I’m not sure with recent weather if my Outback will be able to get through. TIAby TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thanks Wizard - I appreciate your kind words and it really was awesome meeting all of you. Hopefully I’ll find a way to get my sorry ass in better shape soon so that I can come back down sooner than NYE 2021. 🙄by TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Wow, after meeting you and hearing about your many exploits and experiences coming to DCHS, I just assumed you must be in awesome shape and the hike down and back out would barely make you break a sweat. It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only skinny, healthy-looking-but-miserably-out-of-shape person who struggles getting back out at the end of the day. It’s totally worth the pain to haveby TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Yes sir, Mr Wizard sir, Dennis and I kept to the right just past Bowen ranch, and there’s very soon a couple of bright yellow signs indicating the entrance to Brett’s place. He came right out to greet us and the vehicle behind us. He took our $10 per head and gave me a FREAKING RECEIPT for the money! But wait, there’s more! After the money collection, Brett hopped onto his ATV and led us doby TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Mister Wizard, he’s our man! If he can’t do it, no one can!by TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Mike Castro must be very mad With his neighbor Brett But Jobe will be just as glad To soak all day, I betby TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
TL;DR: (and this is really fucking long) I had an awesome fucking day at DCHS on the first day of the new year. Happy New Year to everyone here who enjoys spending time past, present, and future at DCHS! You are all bad mofo’s in your own unique way, and I love each and every one of you for that - especially now that I finally got to meet most of you old timers! 😉 I believe 2020 is goinby TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thank you! Myself and a friend are going early tomorrow morning, and hiking down to DCHS to celebrate the birth of 2020! I’m not sure what to expect regarding crowds on New Years Day, but it doesn’t matter much to me as long as everyone is generally cool.by TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Where do I find this new place to start out? How much cash do I need? How’s the road lately - Subaru Outback without chains gonna make it?by TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Like, cool in a minivan or a sedan, or bring your Jeep, or somewhere in between?by TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Quotejobe If I saw you or anyone else doing so I would bend over backwards to see you punished to the maximum extent of the laws. Well said - I would do exactly the same. Don't be a dick.by TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The Grateful Dead. Of course. (Good for a road trip to anywhere.) May I recommend the 8/27/72 - officially released as "Sunshine Daydream". The greatest concert in the history of rock & roll, a benefit for the Kesey family creamery in rural Oregon. And the whole thing was captured in amazing Technicolor - look for it on youtube.by TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Hey all - the wife and I were down at DCHS a few weeks ago, and enjoyed the Anniversary Pool with a local group that included a woman and her daughter, a massive but friendly wolf-mix dog named after a Roman emperor (Titus?), and a guy who introduced himself to us as Travis. Does anyone know a way I could reach him - I wanted to follow up on an interesting conversation. Please PM me if you knowby TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
We went to Bowen Ranch a couple of weeks ago in our Toyota minivan. Bowen Ranch Road getting to the house isn't too terrible, a lot of washboarding but if you take it slow and use the entire road, it's not really a problem. However, once you pay the nice man and get your free garbage bag, the road down to the parking area is horrendous. There are a couple of spots that are almost impassable wiby TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Yeah, I think maybe the problem is that people in general are f**kheads. Not the ones who are long-timers and read this forum, but the ones who drag down coolers full of beer and bags of weed and boom boxes, and party all day and ogle the CO folks. Mostly if not exclusively yungins I 'spect. And the f**kheads will continue to camp, make fires, and leave bags and bags of trash behind until the plaby TomFoolery72 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
