i think the old photos are beautiful to see and also interesting. They definitely show differences especially around the ubiquity of skinny dipping. But DCHS is still a place of freedom today. They also show that the place was pretty damn crowded back then, over run like folks complain about on the weekends now. So I have my suspicions about the internet ruining the springs. Weird bad things can always happen out there. But they did then too (Manson Family?). Usually the springs are amazing each time I visit. And last week - they were pristine and clean, it was hard to find a lot of trash to hike out. Without the internet, also, obviously we wouldn't be seeing these photos….! Just thinking about this.
