Re: how can we all get along?

Sycamore,

At this point in time, Wizard and I are merely having a verbal battle so to speak of. I have nothing personal against him. We have and still share some interest. Speaking for myself though, it has never crossed my mind to become physical because of differences in opinion. I hope he feels the same.

Wizard seems to side in with DCHS, Inc./Katrina and comapany for some unknown reason to me, it bothers me because it is affecting my close friend Mike Castro and may end-up affecting or actually has affected Kevin and Tanya to some extent. I am not going put up with it anymore! I am also not going to permit Wizard to put a wedge between Mike and I, he's going to have a major problem with that. Mike and I view things like Bowen Ranch/the hot springs/general area in parallel to one another. My little friend Wizard on thee other hand has somehow developed another idea for the area, which doesn't make a bit of sense to me, Mike Castro, Kevin & Tanya, and host of others. What he's doing is not going help preserve the springs, but rather endanger our little paradise. So we're simply at odds with one another. He's a strong willed character, but so am I. And Mike, Tanya and Kevin are not going just simply disappear, because William Swiess and Katrina, (Gail Fry) want some sort of revenge.

I am sorry that this feud thing has somehow over flowed and some of us are being affected by it. Mike C. runs the ranch thing up there extremely well. It may not be, in our minds the way we believe should be, but then, we don't own the place, he does, it's his right. As far as going off the ranch property, he's got the right to go out there and patrol the area and I believe Mike was given a thumbs-up from the BLM, U.S. Forestry and Sheriff's dept. Katrina and William can bitch all they want about Mike's right to patrol the area, it's not going change anything!

I am sorry to hear two individuals had their windows shot out. I know Wizard parks there to and he's worried about the vandalism thing affecting him in the future, but that's the backcountry for ya. There's no shortage of strange characters running around with off-road vehicles out there. I know that first hand because drive my 4X4 out there all the time.

Lastly, I hope there will be no physical violence to Bowen Ranch, (Mike, Kevin, Tanya and their 2 childern). Mike has the right to defend himself and will if the to need ever arrives. The sheriff's dept. gave him the thumbs up as they were made aware of the situation up in that backcountry area.

As for the rest of us, I think should continue to enjoy our time at the hot springs and work on preserving the place that we claim to love so much. Mike and company will do their part at the tollgate/Bowen Ranch.
The problem is not with Mike C./BowenRanch, that's the enemy. Our enemies are at the hot springs trashing and leaving behind liter for the rest of to carry out. Let's fix, or at least attempt to fix that problem.
