Speaking of the link between The Bowen Ranch and DCHS. A while back I was checking out some DCHS sites at Yahoo and found one listing California Hotsprings. This site gave information about each of the springs. Deep Creek Hotsprings was listed, with an AKA right behind it, calling these springs, The Bowen Ranch Hotsprings. My, My! I wonder who might benifit from DCHS being called that :-) I e-mailed the person overseeing that sight to get him up to speed on what the Bowen Ranch actually is, just a private piece of property, no springs. I told him that DCHS is actually about 2 miles from the Bowen Ranch, in USFS lands. I told him that the Bowen Ranch was just one of the access points to these springs. In the many years I have gone to DCHS I have never heard anyone call it the Bowen Ranch Hot Springs. I wonder where he got that idea :-) Anyway the site manager thanked me for my information.
