Today marks the second unfortunate experience I've had with that nut at Bowen Ranch. I will never go that route again, and I certainly will not not pay him to be rude to me. Instead, having done some research, I found this route from LA, that I will do in the future, and no dirt roads. Free parking. No rude nut job to harass you at the gate. http://studentreader.com/deep-creek-hot-springs/ enjby batts1000 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
