I lived in LA in 1970, and that spring I heard about a place out in the desert east of LA called Bowen Ranch. It had a deep river canyon running thru it with hot springs coming out of the canyon wall. Some friends and I went and it was one of the most magical places I had ever been to. The canyon was deep maybe 200 feet with a small river running thru it at the bottom. There was a small groby oddllee - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
