Rabbot, Deep Creek Hotsprings or OZ as I call it remains a wonderful place to visit for a day of relaxation, soaking and good conversations with other visitors. Problems have affected this area simply because situations develop when humans interact. Deep Creek Hotsprings is not a perfect place that exist inside a wonderfully big bubble ( well, maybe in my imagination :-) ) where the difficulties that humans can cause are banned. I can understand that you would have preferred not knowing about some of these things that have happened in the area. I would say that the better you are aware of your surroundings and what goes on the better you are able to avoid the possibilities of situations that might impact you negatively. I can say that in the many years I've been visiting the springs that despite the knowledge of these negative factors at or around OZ, I continue to fully enjoy my times there :-) No matter what environment you find yourself exploring on this sphere its best to always be vigilant.
