Thanks for offering to help clean up down at DCHS. I always bring a couple of trash bags with me and its a good feeling to help out and get some excersise at the same time. Sometime when I pick up more than I feel I can carry reasonably then I'll leave some in a trash bag near the beginning of the trail back, hoping that a good soul will take the bag out.

Hello Sam, I was down there last Saturday also with the wife and the kids. The little ones had their orange arm floats on which would have made them hard to miss. What a crowd. I stayed in the area of the mainpools all day. I probably saw you at some point during the day. I also took some trash out when I left around sunset. As far as which day, Saturday or Sunday is more crowded, I'd say it justby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

Once at 2 AM in the morning I was returning home from a trip to the springs and I stopped at the Del Taco near my home. I ordered a Macho Breakfast Burrito. What a mistake. Basically it tasted like they threw some eggs and God knows what else on a dirty grill, added a cup of grease, and scraped the little tidbits leftover from earlier in the day and rolled it up into a Big Treat for me.

I'll give ya a free plastic cup full of the Wizards vintage " Box Car Vino " next time we meet at OZ if you can count how may times I wrote " bunch " in the above post. Guess that was my favorite adjective tonight :-)by Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Wake up, Wake up, people are still going to the hotsprings! Its been so quiet here at the forum that I thought that maybe the authorities had closed DCHS. Of course I had to make a trip down there with Dorthy and the Munchkins to make sure OZ was OK :-) Can you say crowded! When we crossed the creek there were a bunch of springatoids heading over with us. A bunch of people felt compelled to do thby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

I saw this movie today and what a magnificent work of creative fantasy! It brought back to me that wonderful time as a kid reading those books done by J.R. Tolkein. It was fantastic seeing the stories come to life as the images of this film. The imagination that springs from the human mind never ceases to amaze me! I wonder if Frodo has ever been to OZ? Adventures like his surely warrant a relaxiby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Glad to have made your day at the springs more clean and enjoyable Mark. There will always be those who will show disrespect for the natural beauty of these springs and it is a good lesson for these people to see other caring visitors showing thier sense of caring for this unique environment by picking up what has been carelessly left by others. I find it to be good exercise and its always satisfby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
