Rick,
I am simply giving Katrina anwsers to what she made an inquiry about. In my reply I admit was a bit harsh towards the end to her. I hope my explanation I her was good enough.
Friends of Deep Creek is fine and running well from the Bowen Ranch. I admit, it could be done better and it will change in the future. The original members of the Friends of Deep Creek have change since its creation. The once Moss Mill niegboring folks were original members of the newly created Friends of Deep Creek. Some personality conflicts took place and some members left or quit and others were ousted. Oh well. So where are the once use to be members of the Friends of Deep Creek now? Far Far away doing other things. New and better members are in place and doing well.
Rick, Bowen Ranch is privately owned and operated. It provides a means for the general public coming from wherever to access the hot springs, to camp out, and enjoy themselves safely and peacefully. Bowen Ranch also has support from the sheriffs dept., the US Forestry Service, the BLM, Air and Ground rescue teams, the Fire Dept. and a host of other agencies. Must you and Katrina continue on such a destructive path??
Thanks for listening to me, AzMike
