Rick, that picture you put up sure brings back vivid memories of the day that I took it, down in the Deep Creek Canyon when the Willow Fire burnt past. I wish I had a video of what we saw, since what you see in this picture is just a glimplse. Definitlely not a picture of green lushness! If you will refer back to my post above you will see that I was referring to some pictures of mine that our friend Craig posted at his site " more hot spring pictures ". On page 4 of that site, under Wizard, you will see picture one shows the green landscape I described as being present after the 92 heavy rains. If you see the " Unknown Hotspringer ", your on the right page :-)
