In my opinion there were many interesting things in Katrina's website and it made for good reading Mr Wizard. I was born with a curious and open mind and the site raised a few questions to explore. My curiosity has been raised as Katrina's platform seems to have shifted to this site. I dont believe the $$$ excuse. Katrina and friends accuse Mike Castro of a lot of things and to be honest,I reby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thankyou for the quick response. I was reading some literature on the subject given to me by William and it made me curious. It does strike me as odd that the DCHS inc site has been down for so long due to financial reasons. There are a few people who do have jobs that support what you are doing so I dont believe that $$$ is the true reason. So katrina.....whats up?by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Interesting article Katrina. Say....what was the result of the libel lawsuit Mike Castro filed when you and Mrs Bates accused him of murder? Did that have any affect on your website and its contents?by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Katrina,what ever happeneed to the civil case where Mike Castro sued you for libel? I believe it was something involving your website.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The drought was washed away last night with a deluge that brought relief to parched watertables and trees. Hotspringer Roe will brave a shower of lead to soak, but not even this dedicated soaker had enough courage to brave the elements last night. Everyone in the hills battened down the hatches and held onto our hats last night! We found new leaks where there had never been leaks before as theby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The process is simple, file a report and then get a TRO. There is no problem if there is a witness,however....if there isnt one then its one persons word against another.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Has Hotspringer Roe asked the courts to issue a restraining order? I know that a piece of paper wont stop a bullet,but it is legal documentation. When a TRO is issued,all firearms are confiscated under the law. Everyone deserves to live their lives in peace. Pope Don's violence and hostility wasn't exclusive to me and he continued to try to hold the Village residents hostage until last year.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Since Katrina has opened the door on psyciatric illness,she should look at her own illness before she pretends to have knowlege of others. In my years of experience working in the ICU environment,my assessment skills have become very keen. It is my opinion that Katrina is highly symptomatic of what is known as "Personality Disorder". Specificaly, it is called "passive aggressive pby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I left because of continued threats against my life. Don continued to threaten my life and I decided to move to a more peaceful place in Morro Bay. I have never sought psyciatric treatment Katrina, but it is true that I stopped drinking with some help from a recovery group. I can relate to the situation my friend hotspringer Roe is in from my own personal experience.Once again,I would like to sby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Coyote was eventualy evicted by the BLM. Good riddance!by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
In the light of this most recent episode where bullets were flying, I do believe the potential exists for someone to get seriously hurt or even killed. The address listed for DCHS inc is the property owned by Hotspringer Roe. Since the conflict between DCHS inc and Mike Castro has its roots in the old "friends of deepcreek",these folks need to find a way to just co-exist. Something likby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The village had an episode where this law has been applied as well. In the late 70's and early 80's,all of the property owners there got their water from the spring there. This all changed when "Pope" Don Whittington purchased the lot where the water tank was located. He claimed wrongfully that the water was all his and cut everyone off the supply. There were many families with small cby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Back in 80's,there was a local incident involving two hombres. Coyote was an individual who saw himself as "king of the hill".He was living at the old Doc Wood's mining claim up in Arrasta Canyon. In the beginning,there were others who lived nearby in old cabins but Coyote didnt like this. His trip was to be a real a**hole until those peace loving hippies would move. He would then tearby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
No pretending here Katrina......somebody could use this statute in their defence. Do you get the point I am trying to make? I like Wizard's statement at the end of his post.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
There is easy access to Tahiti via the powerline road. Fortunatly,the other place described by Wizard is more difficult to find. Springtime and early summer are the best times to visit both. Enjoy!by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Take Bowen Ranch road to the fork with 3N14, go to the left. Before the big hill,turn left again onto powerline road and follow it down to the bottom of the canyon. Cross the seaonal creek and park. Follow the trail 200 yards up to the falls. This is a well known spot so expect company. Enjoyby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The locals call it Tahiti.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
According to my friend hotspringer Roe, Mike Castro was shooting at a rockpile on his neighbors property. According to Katrina's post,the range is about 800 yards. In my mind,there is no excuse for this behavior. However, the law is written the way it is written. I also question why this was not reported to the sherrif's office. As far as not being truthful Rick,what specificaly are you talkingby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Why doesn't Katrina tell the whole truth about the situation? Why does she misquote my words by using the cut and paste method of quoting me? "Perhaps the shooter felt threatend by the hiker's presence on the edge of his property. I have personaly suggested to both parties involved to stay away from each other and I believe this is sound advice." I stand by my words.

Let the truth be known then. Some members of DCHS inc carry weapons when in the area of the hotsprings and Bowen Ranch. One member was arrested for weapons violations after entering the fire closure a couple of years ago. Another one experienced vandalism and the theft of a firearms lockbox from his truck at the JF3 parking area.It was empty at the time indicating the firearm was in possession oby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The question is, was hotspringer Roe carrying a gun at the time? Since there is a history of hostility between these two parties,this is a valid question to ask. Perhaps the shooter felt threatend by the hiker's presense on the edge of his property. I have personaly suggested to both parties involved to stay away from each other and I believe this is sound advice.

I aggree with you Wizard on this one. The joy is in the journey and life is too short to hold onto grudges. Learn from the past, live for today and look to the future. Everyone should be able to walk the path in peace.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
My sources down in southern Baja tell me that the ocean temp is warmer than normal and alot of dorado are being caught already. This indicates that an el nino is in effect, however what effect on the weather here remains to be seen. The carpets of wildflowers will happen within a week or two. I predict that the spring cleanup at the creek will be colorful. Enjoy everyone!by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Well..you are right about one thing Mr Wizard......the mountain folks dont like rats. There is one justification under California law where it is permissable to fire a gun at another individual. It may be applicable in this case......Im sure you can find a lawbook to quote somewhere and get back to me. Peace brother Wizardby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Well Katrina, your commitment to activism is commendable, I do think you could use some legal help though. All of this seems too much for just one person without a law degree. Perhaps the ACLU can help. Good luck in your struggles and remember that even though we dont aggree on stuff,I do not harbor any grudges. Stop by and say hello if you ever in the neighborhood.

What I dont get is the double standard that applies to the law according to Katrina. Apples or oranges.....its all fruit. Is it OK for Katrina to inform on people for possible code violations and then deny being an informant? Calling the Supervisors office is the same as calling code enforcement. And.....she posts these accusations of (her nemesis the evil wicked) Mike Castro of being a governmeby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Code enforcement gave us all advance warning that they would be visiting on a certain date. One resident decided to make a stand for "medical marijuana" and the result was a raid that resembled a big drug bust at his home that resulted in his arrest. My former wife and her husband met the officials in their driveway and were treated with respect.They invited the county to look arounby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The truth has finally been confirmed for us all. Katrina is a government informant. I am not suprised that the government officials are hesitant to respond to her ranting though, after all of that fecal coliform about "violation of civil rights" in the Village. Its my opinion that its time for her to come down off the cross.............we need the wood!!!!!!! On a positive note I wouby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The idea of a wilderness area status for Deep Creek has been in the works since the late 70s when the road down to the creek was closed. I believe it is officialy classified as a roadless area already.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
