Somehow I suspect even with a video tape BLM would come up with some excuse.by Rick - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I'd they that while "resonable access" might not include improving the road, it does include not supporting harassment of people legally using an open route. You've already said that Mike keeps certain people out and from what I've seen that means anybody he doesn't personally like whether they are using the Bowen Ranch access or a public route. That's not acceptable in my book and unby Rick - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
We can focus on the issues if you'll stop accusing everyone of doing what you do yourself. I saw lots of emotional argument tricks in your posts and yet you go around accusing everyone else of ad hominem attacks. So please do stick with the issues and leave the hypocrisy at home.by Rick - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I've been there on weekdays where nobody showed up other than me. Other days the Green Tortoise bus tour came and there were 40+ people at the springs. In other words it varies over a wide range and you can't know what it'll be like until you are there.by Rick - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
"its vivid anger, its focus on personal attacks " That's amazing, Jona. You post a personal attack and then bitch that a well reasoned reply is a person attack posted in anger. Nice try. But the facts aren't changed by your little debating trick. What's the real reason you are defending Mike Castro?by Rick - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

The "total alkalinity" value is a measure of the amount of salts in the water. They are important for swiming pools because they act as a buffer to keep the pH from drifting too much. For a hot spring Deep Creek doesn't have very many disolved solids (i.e. "minerals". You can tell just by looking at the pools and seeing that there's not a lot of mineral build up on the sides.by Rick - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
People are also sweating out most of the water they drink while in a pool. So it's probably not as bad as you might think. Urine is usually not a source of bacteria either.by Rick - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Was plenty of water coming into the pool? If too much is diverted to the Honeymoon pool, the bacteria don't get washed out. People stirring up the muck on the bottom can hurt the levels too.by Rick - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
What pool were the samples taken from?by Rick - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

I remember some boy sprouts being there one Sunday afternoon. Their leader came over and asked everyone to put their clothes on. Like that'd happen. I have to wonder what he was thinking. It's not like the nudity at the springs is a secret.by Rick - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

Is there a problem with posting or is everyone just being quiet tonite?by Rick - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Funny, I used to see Mike ride his dirt bike down there all the time. Could it be that rules are only for other people?by Rick - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

It's not a bad idea have a few trash bags in your back. Not only can you carry out trash with them, but they can be used for a rain coat in a jam.by Rick - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
