Family canyon is located behind the hotsprings a couple of hundred yards downstream on the south side of the main canyon. In the distant past, it was a hideout for the infamous Manson family....thats how it got its name.
My neighbor was bummed out by the trash being left around by the people who have been staying there and asked if DCV could do something about the situation. I told him that we mostly pick up the garbage and repair the pools. Our mission is education by example. We are not the Hot Springs police. That is up to the USFS.
Anyway...I was tempted to go to the springs with some of my neighbors yesterday but I have been working on my firebreaks and watering trees. The wildflowers are really fantastic this year which means lots of fuel for wildfires later this year. And....its forcasted to rain again! Its really peaceful and colorful right now, a great time to enjoy the desert!
