DCR, as I said before here, you are a good spirit and I am always glad to see you and your soul mate at the springs. OZ needs good people like you to keep the balance with those who by thier actions show disrespect for these springs we love! Fortunatly things are much as they always have been down at this oasis of life that we are all drawn to! I think it will be a long time before we see a fire the likes of the " Willow Fire " again in the area of the springs. As you said the mud situation is improving and I'll be real glad to see the mud gone and the sands return! The mud has caused some amazing growth of small plants along the stream channel which is neat to see! Hopefully well meet again soon down at OZ! Happy Soakin!
