Jobe...every holiday weekend people fire up the gas altar and sacrafice a cow to the gods of bar-b-que. This holiday was homage to the god of thankfulness and gobble Even vegetarians sacrafice alfalfa sprouts and consume them in a spiritual quest for a healthy life. Due to persistant drought conditions, water sources are VERY limited for cattle on the Juniper Flats cattle allotment. The USFS /by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Sunny.....gettin cool at night. There will be a big full moon tonight! Havn't been to the springs in a while. How about it Mr Wizard.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

Nothing but the wind and tumbelweeds blowing through this topic......... There is a disclaimer above this thread which reads "Content should be considered opinion and not fact until verified independently" Iby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Over on the Desertusa website, Dan Clark is continuing his campaign of libelous allegations citing DCHS forum posters as his source by fishing throuh old archives. Obviously, he has not read the disclaimer on this site. This does not prevent him from citing Katrina as a source of verifiable fact. How about it Katrina? Would you care to set Dan Clark straight on the "facts" surroundiby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

Flash flooding along Deep Creek remains a danger with significant rain. The upper regions of the canyon got hit by fire once againby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Officially closed. Despite this closure, there were cars in the Bowen Ranch parking lot indicating hikers in Deep Creek canyon.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thanks again for your sincere apology Allen. I hear that the BLM is still working on putting together another OHV volunteer team to help educate the problematic riders in our area. Hopefully, volunteer efforts by concerned riders will help resolve some of the issues in this area. The Juniper Flats / Deep Creek lands are designated multiple use and local property owners welcome responsible OHV uby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I dont know Allen....why not ask your buddies over there on DUSA who keep on bringing it up? Apology accepted however.......I had someone 'pay me a visit". Do you know anyone who rides a Honda with a matching riding attire? Sometimes people do things they are sorry for later however, once the genie is out of the bottle, it's hard to put it back in. With a new round of harassment and reby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The Lake Arrowhead area got a touch of precipitation today. Weather is cooler and the winds have diminished. Although it's been really smokey around here the past few days, Deep Crrek Hot Springs and the Juniper Flats area dodged a bullet on this one. With the arrest of John Alfred Rund of Hesperia, there is one less nutball pyro on the loose.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Got a weather forecast for us Rick? Winds are still pushing fires away from the hotsprings but we are not out of the danger zone.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Upper Deep Creek is burning up according to a report on Rimoftheworld.net before the site closed. The fire is due west of Willow Creek on the North Side of Lake Arrowhead burning away from the hot springs.....for now.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

No plan to turn the cows loose just yet but.....Deep Creek is off limits. It's going to be a mess if they do turn em loose with all of the cut fences. Many locals are unhappy with the decision and protested. Our concerns have fallen upon deaf earsby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

3N14 is closed. Fire crews are using it for access. A voluntary evacuation is in effect for South Lucerne Valleyby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Not close to this area but any fire on the mountain has potential due to all of those dead trees. I hope the crews nail this one down tonight.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

The singing around here sounds more like a mosquito or a fly but the disease it carries can be devastating. Here are some sights that are all to increasingly common around this area.

Knowing the Wizard, he no doubt helped rebuild the man for the oficial burn 3 days later. He was probably the first one to volunteer.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

Thanks Rick.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Ken Piel........now there's a legal eagle for you. The Ordinance stands as is. Did anyone else notice the absence of other OHV stakeholders ORBA , CORVA and District 37AMA? These respected OHV organizations who participated in the stakeholders were not asking for any changes whatsoever. For individual OHV riders, the best way to protect riding oppertunities is to practice responsible recreatiby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
