Great summation of the OHV non-compliance problem, Laughing Bear. In the interest of educating the public, have you considered sending your summary as a letter to the local newspaper? Mojaveby mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
"Disasta" rhymes nicely with "Arrastra". But since it is spelled "Arrastre", does that make it a "disastre"?by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Some Darwinian drivers don't follow lane convention, choosing the side of Bowen Ranch Rd. that offers the least ruts. That puts conventional drivers at risk, especially when the rut-avoiders fail to move back into their lane as they approach blind spots.

Has BLM been advised that this route is unusable for the general public? If so, what was their response?by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Clever way to double your income, although when one pays to get in, one does do not expect to pay again to get out. Don't tell the movie houses about this one.by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Today's news from a leading investment advisor: New Century Financial, the second largest lender in the subprime mortgage market, announced late yesterday that it will not be accepting any new loan applications. The company hopes the move is temporary but cautioned that it may not be. It can't accept any new applications and originate additional loans because New Century's creditors are closingby mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Hard to imagine a concessionaire would extort his customer base in view of the free access option provided by BLM. Maybe the gatekeeper was trying to scam some extra cash without the owner's knowledge?by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Not to mention that the economy has been fueled by people pulling equity out of their houses. These cash cows are rapidly becoming money sumps. Look for their owners to walk away from them.by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

Amusing observation, Brother Bear. In saying it "sounds alot like the neighborhood around here", you can relate to being told that "you are being observed, of course, by your neighbors and even contacted and studied because of the peculiar circumstances of your lives here."by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
"Extraterrestrials" is an unfortunate phrase, in that, it seems to connote alien qualities of weirdness and violence, perhaps disease and anal probes, or abductions and the bar scene in Star Wars. But it is an intelligent universe, and those who have been able to manage to steer a course of balanced development, have been able to bring with them the necessary understanding of the laws oby mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
"Returning again to the plight of (Earth), from your provincial point of reality, just emerging out of the darkness of the quarantine, you are being observed, of course, by your neighbors and even contacted and studied because of the peculiar circumstances of your lives here and now in terms of your planetary emergence into your standard system of things.

"Grays" (note: year 2001) are making the news these days, and they even come from somewhere else. Thus you have a heightened sense of anything new as being alien. It's all something strange, all coming from another place, all something not understood, all potentially dangerous and all very frightening. ----(deleted)-----Your perspective on this ought to enable you to support a premiseby mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
"The circuits are opening and the light of truth is flooding your world and as it has been pointed out to you before, some of you at least, the universe is rushing, flooding to your aid. The emphasis of aid has been spiritual because it is essential that your souls expand in proportion to your technology. Science has had a bit of an upper hand, and religion has remained emotional and dogmatiby mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Laughing Bear: "How intellegent is an animal that creates a device such as a nuclear bomb, capable of destroying life as we know it for all?" It is the sign of an animal having technological advancement that far outpaces their social and spiritual evolution. Since direct intervention by more advanced beings is not permitted, the challenge is how help "fix it". Thank you fby mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Teacher: And the great chasm between a science fiction understanding of space ships and alien life as compared to the appreciation for angels, God, and your supernal teachers in the Teacher Corp. It's as if you needed to decide between them and they are both quite plausible, and as you understand reality better, they are in fact essential.by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Student: Q: Will the extra-terrestrials give us help in freeing ourselves from some of the old myths? Will the truth come out about the fact that we are not alone in the universe, that others are watching us and thinking about us? Teacher: There are subtle ways to bring this information to bear upon your civilization. First of all, immediate revelation by these individuals would not be accepted,by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Weather having slowed hot springs visitations and posting to the Forum, I offer for your (skeptical?) perusal answers to questions posed to a Teacher in 2001. It offers an expanded perspective of Wizard's "Storm Coming" threads. I have taken liberty to excerpt in the interest of brevity and also to replace the galactic name for this planet with "Earth". ********************by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Student: Is there any advice as to the true nature of the different extra-terrestrials, and which are supportive of us, and which are not? And what different origins are involved in their intent? Teacher: I will answer the first part of your question, and disregard the last. The answer to these questions is general in nature; it is one of discernment.

From Wizard's posting, "Damocles had one life threatening sword hanging by a thread over his head. We have three:----" Actually, we have at least four. Not acknowledged is the threat of global pandemic. Ironically, that could mitigate the other threats.by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Disappearing open route signs and an impassable road characterize the route around Bowen Ranch. A reminder, BLM is required by WEMO to provide safe and convenient hot springs access across public lands. If the current access is unmarked and limited by road condition to OHV use, it does not meet that requirement.by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Regarding cataclysmic change, "These (will be) the times that try men's souls." It will likely be difficult to find hope in a world of material disarray without having made some spiritual preparation. That may be one of the evolutionary factors.by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Wizard writes: "The good news is that there is still time to turn it around." In my opinion, a turnaround is highly improbable considering the momentum of our current lifestyle, the natural consequences of overpopulation and the cyclical destabilization of the planet. The good news is that if we start living more sustainably, (either individually or in community) we will have a much bby mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
How about the free access route around Bowen Ranch?by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
(I wondered why the Castro thread came to the top without any apparent recent postings!) It is unseasonably hot here near the coast and this summer will likely be brutal and especially so if it doesn't start raining soon.

Thanks,Wizard There are two problems that are being looked at. One is lack of enforcement and the other is attempted intimidation through retaliation. Both are of interest to the County Supervisors.by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thanks, Rick. Excellent documentation by the Wizard.by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
S.B. County Sheriff response to requests for enforcment of the new County OHV ordinance is under scrutiny. Retaliation for reqesting enforcement is also an issue. Wizard documented his experience in this Forum. Thread? Thanks!by mojavegreen - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
