Rattlesnake Ranch, first off, your son is no better than who you call "ignets". It is totally inappropriate to carve initials into a tree. No one should do that. For years there have been volunteers who have packed out trash and generally cleaned up the area adjacent to the springs. This continues to occur. However, because of the Internet and the fact that the springs are becoming more well known, there are a certain element of visitor who simply don't respect the place. But thankfully they are in the minority. Deep Creek Hot Springs will stay open as long as people respect the place. This includes taking out your own trash, shitting away from the creek and burying it as deep as you can, keeping dogs on leashes, not bringing firearms, not blasting boom boxes, and of course not drawing or painting graffiti on rocks.
