I hate to hear about the additional vandalism. As much as I don't like parking at Bowen Ranch, I would not want to risk a vehicle break in by parking at the Freedom trailhead.
Dadinpain, it's important to note that for every car that parks for free at the public Freedom Trailhead, the Bowen Ranch caretaker loses $5.00!!
The fee for the Bowen parking area is $5.00 per PERSON!, not just $5.00 per vehicle. A lot of cars visiting the springs are carrying two or more people so the parking fees that are not collected by the caretaker at the ranch when people park at the freedom trail head are much higher than just $5.00.
