Cares, I know there are those who will find these discussions to be boring or will question thier merit. However, I feel that it is important that there be a place like this forum where the differant parties can vent feelings and speak thier minds on the various issues related to DCHS. Actually if you read through past post many differant subjects, besides issues related to Mike Castro are discussed here. People's concerns and feelings on these subjects need and outlet. I'm sure to some extent the Authorities who are responsible for the DCHS area are aware or even veiw this forum from time to time. Are they going to come out with a notice saying " We are closing Deep Creek Hotsprings because people at the DCHS forum are discussing things to much " :-) From what I've seen, they will react to the conditions they are seeing, at, and around DCHS specifically. If your are bored by these discussions then you have the simple option of not reading what is presented here, or, you could post some or your own, interesting thoughts related to DCHS. As far as whether this forum helps with these issues, at the very least I believe that a greater awarness of the many subjects concerning Deep Creek Hotsprings is gained, and that is beneficial.
