Nevada Naturist, The fee at the Bowen Ranch is 4 dollars for the day and 5 dollars for overnight. I'm sure your trip will be trouble free as far as some of the contentious issues that have been discussed at this forum. I was up to the springs yesterday and the weather was great. There was a nice freindly crowd and we had a good soak and fun conversation. During what hours do you expect to be at the springs on the 23rd. I might hit the springs and visit you for a while if my schedule permits. If I don't make it, one suggestion, you can still cross on the rocks just upstream from the pools since the creek is still fairly low. Some people are still wading across just in front of the pools but the stream is pretty cold this time of year. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time :-)
