Yes, my experience was a different day. Too many unprepared people.by Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I rescued two young people last week who got lost while hiking out. The young woman was in the first stages of hypothermia by the time I got them back to my truck. They were very lightly dressed and it was below freezing temps. The woman said she felt like she was going to die as she lay in my trucks back seat, I had the heater on full. If I had not spotted them where they were, one of them, or bby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

Sam, back in the 90's a big flood scoured away the earthen bank that the main source water flowed in a channel in the dirt over to the Womb and Serenity Hot Pools. Then the main source water just ran down the hill into the creek and was not going to the main pools. There was no Anniversary Pool at that time. Then AZ Mike constructed the rock and cement channel to get the hot water to once again fby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I agree with the points you made Neogeo about this new dam and pool. I was at DCHS yesterday and spent my time soaking in the Phoenix Pool. It was a beautiful Fall dayby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thank you Amelia for providing those lyrics I will say Hi to Dan and his horse for you My wife has been on a business trip up in Seattle, and today she is flying down to Tracy which I think is not too far from youby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
This is what actually occurred regarding this tree next to the Contemplation Pool. When this pool was being constructed, the people doing the work were clearing the dirt bank to expose the granite below, and in the process they ended up compromising the trees roots grip on the granite on its west side nearest the pool. They cut off some of the roots on that side too. Then some time later a strongby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Hmmm, I was at Deep Creek yesterday, lots of clouds but no rains at all. And today nothing either. When I looked at the satellite images on Monday before going on my hike I thought there would be some rain coming, and was surprised looking again at the images this morning to see that those showers off shore had pretty much dissolved and went away. Deep Creek is running with a bit more volume dueby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Another excellent version Amelia Thanks for your efforts and I will let Dan know about your new rendition when I see him. I had some trouble hearing some of the lines, maybe its because of my compromised hearing, since I worked around a lot of loud equipment on various jobs in my life. Perhaps you could post here the lyrics that I could look at while listening to your new song again. Where did yby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I'm looking forward to that Ameliaby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

The truck seen in the pics, apparently the victim's is shown sitting next to Lake Arrowhead Rd,, just south of Hesperia Lake. I've seen reports of vehicle vandalism and break ins at the pull out on the west side of the Mohave Forks Dam. There is lots of graffiti on the PCT from the dam on up to the Rainbow Bridge. I stay away from that whole are, too much trouble down there.by Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Great seeing you yesterday Sam, and thanks too for sharing your refreshments Your clean up efforts at DCHS, one word, AWESOME!!!by Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

Amelia, thanks for your thoughts I will tell Dan about your youtube regarding his Horsecapade, and I'm sure he will check it outby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I noticed Amelia that you called Dan, Joe, and his horse Dusty, you called it something else, I could not make out what it was. When I talked with Dan to get his horses name for you that you inquired about, he was fine about letting you use it for your song, and I would guess he would have had no problem with you using his name either. Did you change the name to keep things like that anonymous? Iby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Hmmm, a technical hike, I'm thinking the north face of Everest The mile and a half hike to DCHS in my Dr Scholls tennis shoes, not so muchby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
In the warmer months when DCHS gets busier, when I visit Deep Creek I many times hike to other places upstream or downstream from the springs. If I go to DCHS, I will check out what is going on, and if I am not liking the scene, then I will move on. I always have a very rewarding and satisfying day when spent at the special beautiful quieter spots on Deep Creek that I love visiting. Just simple nby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
What I think George is referencing is someone who does live here in the high desert who on his face book page did write this comment today " Maybe all these people that come from LA and San Diego will quit coming when it gets really gross then we can clean it up and enjoy it again ". I am very much a regular visitor of DCHS, and I personally have not heard something like this expressedby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
That's really great of them to do all of that cleaning!by Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The tree that blew over next to the Contemplation Pool stood fine and grew for many years with no problems. During that time there were, as the weather goes, many times of high winds. The Contemplation Pool builders excavated a whole lot of earth, that anchored the many cut roots on the side the tree fell away from. I don't think there is any doubt that the trees grip was weakened because of thisby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
If you are fishing for trout, they are usually found from around Willow Creek on upstream because the water is cool enough for them to live year round up there. Some years when there is significant flooding the trout will wash downstream, then while the creek is still cool they will survive for a while until the summer heat makes the creek to hot for them. During times like that I have seen yearsby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The Fawn Skin Discovery Center on the north side of Big Bear Lake should have info regarding your question Moe. Their number is 909-382-2790. What trailhead are you referring to?by Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I was there at Deep Creek on Thursday too, with a couple of friends upstream from DCHS. I guess you did not go far enough to come across us. We were looking to enjoy a quieter, cleaner part of the creek. It was wonderful weather and such an enjoyable dayby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Amellie Sue, I just called Dan about your question, his horses name is Dusty, and he said its an avero quarter horse buckskin paint. If you could, post the link for that You Tube ballad you are making and I will pass it along to Dan, he wants to see it He laughed about your last observation that perhaps his horse got off for his kicking the Sheriff because of no prior assaultsby Wizard - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
