Hello Laughing Bear :-) You know I have no quarrels with you, and I know you have done plenty to try and help the general area, especially regarding your involvement with The Friends Of Juniper Flats Group. We both have done what we can to address the rampant illegal moto activity and the illegal trails they create. I'm all about doing positive things, but on the other hand, my recent accountings of just what Mike has been involved with in his time at the Bowen Ranch have been for the purpose of countering the one sided tale that this Ryan ( maybe Kevin ) guy spun trying to make Mike out to be just a mis-understood, all around Nice Guy! That is just complete BS! The crap Mike has pulled will not be forgotten by many of us who know about it, and there is no reason for us to be shy or apologetic about bringing to light these things. To let Mike just bury what has been with the Fake Facade he potrays to those at his gate would be just wrong! Other than that, I am always involving my self with doing positive things for DCHS, Deep Creek, and the many other outdoor areas I recreate in. Mike and his sordid history will never take away the inspiration I constantly experience spending time in natures grand beauty!

Regarding our girls, they are not in High School just yet, being in 6 and 7th grade this school year just ending. I still get them down to Deep Creek once in a while, but they are of an age now where they have developed other interest. Deep Creek remains for me one of my all time favorite places to visit :-) Good to hear about you recent improvments at your place in the village of the solar power and new well, and glad that things have been mellow for you guys out there :-)
