Thanks to DS 420, Joel, Paul P, and Hiker. As you all suggest, my gf and I will go there during the week, and in the early morning. My new gf has never been there and all we want is some good vibes and warm water, and meditative beautiful surroundings, without being annoyed or hasseled. I will keep my fingers crossed, but if it is not optimal, so be it. My gf and I are not that fragile anyway, so if annoying people are there we will try to just accept it for what it is. We plan to camp on top at Bowen Ranch, and I imagine that will be quiet in any event. I guess the atmosphere at the springs are hit and miss, and all depends on who happens to be there at a given time. Peace to all.
