What? The locals don't like the people from SD? That is disappointing, I carry two bags of trash out everytime i visit the hot springs. To be honest though, i tend to avoid the hot springs and venture farther upstream, simply to get away from the rude, drunk and drugged up locals. The SD guys go to the Hot Springs because the hike is easy. Similar areas in SD county, the hike is to technical for most people.
I am happy to see an off-roading group doing some clean up!
