Thanks, Paul. One of these days I should try that route and trail.by celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I would appreciate someone posting the GPS coordinates of the Bradford Trail parking place on HWY 173. Thanks.by celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
A really great collection of photos, Joe. Thanks for posting here and I also attached a link to your photos on the Deep Creek Hot Springs site on Facebook.by celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

Hip: What you wrote is cool, hip, and from Wikipedia. I asked why, at the time, you called the couple hip. I'm not trying to bust your balls, Jobe, I'm just curious why, in that place and time, you referred to them as "hip." (It must be my history as an academic, I can't just let things be, I must satisfy my curiosities.)by celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
That'd be nice of you to adopt the "hot springs" cat, Jobe. I'm surprised she's lasted this long with coyotes and other dangerous critters around. I'm curious, what made the young couple you met at the springs, "hip" in your opinion? The slang word, "hip," an update to its predecessor, "hep," has been around since at least the early 1940's and had manby celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Wizard, can you make those photos available to the rest of us on your Flickr account, or elsewhere? I saved them when you posted them originally, but they perished when one of many hard drives crashed. I swear I won't lose them again.by celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Beautiful photos, Mr. Wizard. A nice camera coupled with your fantastic eye for composition. Thanks.by celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Oops, to continue the last message, I live in Irvine and can drive up through the tollway to the 91 or meet fellow travelers along the 55 to the 91 and 15.by celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I plan to be there for the cleanup and I'm looking for up to three others to share my Honda Element and the fuel expense. I like to get there early, so I can meet other early birds and spend most of the day at the springs. The weather will most likely be warm and not too crowded. If you're interested reply to this message here.by celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thanks for your kind comment, Paul. I've been a fan of Spencer Tunick's photography since the 1990s when he would stage "installations," his word for guerrilla photo sessions at dawn somewhere in public in New York City. Several dozen volunteers would assemble before first light on Wall Street, Broadway, in Central Park or any other place where Tunick felt the setting would be notable.by celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
As one who took part as a model for one of Spencer Tunick's mass nude gatherings (Cleveland 2004), I appreciate the photos available on the Internet of Mr. Tunick's "installations,"as he calls them. The one that intrigued me the most was the portfolio shot for Greenpeace International featuring hundreds of naked participants artistically arranged on the largest glacier in Switzerland.

Looking at a larger view of the trailer I saw that the creek scenes were shot at Deep Creek Hot Springs. I seem to recall someone's post here mentioning a film/video crew shooting at the springs sometime within the last year, or so.by celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
A Facebook contact sent me a link to a trailer (preview) of a low budget naturist comedy, "Act Naturally." One of the scenes looks like it could have been at Deep Creek, but I'm sure it could have been at a similar location. The IMDB.com page lists Colton, CA as one of the shooting locations, so I believe that must be Olive Dell Ranch.

This sad, sad story sounds like a script to a 70s Drive-In movie. Bad juju all around. All we need is Charlie Manson and his tribe and we've got a hit, a bad hit, but a box office bonanza, nevertheless.by celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

Ahhh. A warrior for righteousness. QuotePaul P. Most of the rangers are aware of that, but there are a couple of aggressive rangers with their own personal agendas who have hassled people in the past. Due to some swift action by naturists, we got rid of a rogue ranger at Torrey Pines who was ticketing nudists at Blacks. This was before the San Onofre situation arose and the Cahill Policy was eby celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Very nice video, Rick. Thanksby celtfire - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
You quoted Proverbs 28:6. You might also read this variation, Jobe, Proverbs 19:1 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in speech and is a fool. I've been to San Onofre, Trail 6, during the week and discovered that there are men there who were cruising for anonymous sex. That experience convinced me to avoid that beach during the week.

F-14 Tomcat fighters have been retired since 2006. If it was a F-14 it must have been an attack on you evil hedonistic naked trail hikers by the Islamic Air Force of Iran, since they are the only country in the world still flying them. I believe what you probably saw was a F-18 Hornet.
