KUDOS to all the DCHS regulars. Ive been soakin for years, 1st time at DC was last fall. The spot is a gem and will be a continuing challenge to keep that way . I met a young fellow down there from the area who seemed to think the flow kept the pools clean. He was fascinated when I set up a siphon w/ a hose and started to vacuum one of the pools. He ended up helpin me out w/ the project. I believe that at all the hot springs, we just need to gently teach the youngsters by our example (when they are 1/2 sober) and take a lot of deep cleansing breaths when they are not. I personally try to keep far from any town on any weekend. I can imagine there are some real loosers at DC at times. KUDOS agin MiK
