......and the black limosine fades is the desert wind surrounded by the wildflowers of spring. Seasons come and seasons go while the saga of Limo Dave continues.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The K rats fill their spacious and luxurious accommodations with a myriad of sticks and debris, awaiting another generation of youngsters to scamper around. How many rodants can claim they were born in a limosine? the wind and suns continue their onslaught while the limo sits forlorn out in the flats. As far as I know, nobody has used it for target practice yet! The tires have long been flat.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Please respect DEEP CREEK HOT SPRINGS and abide by the rules. I have owned land here in these mountains here for over 30 years and I'm out by sunset. Why should a visitor get special treatment "almost insane"?. People who disrespect the USFS guidelines blow it for the rest of us. It encourages others to do the same. All you have to do is hike out of the canyon and camping is coolby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
In my younger years, I used to cross with a running shallow dive and swim like a madman across to the other side. What a rush!by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I was there yesterday to provide comments in person. While the BOS voted to end the permit process for OHV staging on private lands, the rest of the ordinance remains. It also restricts OHV staging to parcels greater than 2.5 acres. What is important is when we witness OHV trespass into the Deep Creek Non Motorized Vehicle area,please report it.

Are there any other fly fishermen lurking out there? Deep Creek is a designated wild trout water, barbless fly only. I catch and release all trout I catch. The ocean pelagics like tuna, wahoo, and yellowtail are another story altogether. I'm looking to connect with other fly fishermen on whats happening.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Not worth the effort. It's a mud hole and underwater right nowby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Lets face it people. The water is very high and frigid from the snowmelt. If you decide to come out here, be prepared for a harsh environment. It's dipping well into the 30s at night and hypothermia is a possibility so come prepared with an extra set of warm clothes, a flashlight and use common sense so you dont get lost hiking out. A few years back, a 23 year old woman died of hypothermia afterby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Good post Katrina. Most desert residents just want a little peace and quiet around their homes. The last thing I want next door is a motocross track! Anyone who has been coming out to the Deep Creek/Juniper Flats area can see the escalating damage to both public and private lands from disrespectful and illegal OHV users.

Long ago, I named an old 1960 Chevy Apache pick up truck after the former ditch near the Rock Springs Ranch. Before going through I would cry out "Geronimo!".by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
And the black painted limo sits in the coolness of the later winter winds, paint fading, looking lost and forlorn. Prayers for resolution continue.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Many people do not realize Lake Arrowhead is above Deep Creek. The outflow comes down Willow Creek not far upstream from the hotsprings.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
What is PC 987.2? How long has Limo Dave been in the slammer now?by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I haven't followed this thread but I would like to extend a big THANK YOU to all who care enough to pick it up and pack it out. Lets put personal differences aside as we all work together to make this planet a little nicer place. LBby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
There are applications pending in Juniper Flats too!by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Special intrest OHV groups are attempting a back door deal with Sup Mitzlefeldt and Derry that exclude all participants in the round table process of stake holders. Members of these groups have been targeting and harassing supporters of ORD 3973. How many desert residents want thier peaceful and serene neighborhoods taken over by hoards of weekenders from LA camping out on "Uncle Larry's&quoby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
If ya gotta ask, you probably shoudn't go. A few years back a young woman died from hypothermia after the rain turned to snow. Make sure you are well equiped before braving the elementsby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I've been hunting and fishing all of my life and I have to agree with you Rick. I've never shot a bear but I have had some greasy bear chili for dinner a time or two. The meat is rather gamey but at the time, it was a welcome addition to the pot of beans. One morning back around 1979 or 80, I was sitting in my front yard drinking coffee while my daughter Asha was playing. We looked up to seeby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

Thankyou!by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Code enforcement are the ones sent out a crew last time. Passing the buck wont fix the problem though. Maybe tomorrow I will stuff a few trash bags full and haul it down to town. If others do the same, soon a big pile becomes smaller and eventually dissapears. Please phone in a report Jobe and let code enforcement know. Maybe the dumba$$es left some mail behind and they can trace it.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thanks for the update Rick.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
This land , also known locally as 'the ribcadge', has been trashed by illegal OHV use. In recent years, the Competative Edge motorcycle park has operated there but I'm unsure of the status. It looks closed to me.by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California

Howdy all, We are gathering at the meeting circle near the fish pond on Rock Springs Ranch on Saturday 10/31/09 to celebrate the life of our friend and brother with a hike, potluck and drum circle. All friends are welcomeby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I nominate this guy for this year's Darwin award. Hopefully, he wont pull a stunt like that again!by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The big mistake was pulling a gun and shooting his drinking buddy. Does anyone know how the guy who was gutshot with a 357 is doing?by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I've been hanging around up in the Sierras lately where the clothing optional thing is prevalant. A suggestion is to not let the non textile crowd ruin your soak. Carry something to wear with you just in case. It's not worth a confrontation. Sooner or later, the textiles will leave the pool. Then you are free to do whatever. First come, first soak. I really dont want to wear anything when soakingby LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The gathering is happening now. All reports I am getting is the USFS is in mellow mode and a permit has been secured. It's outside of Cuba, NM. Welcome home to all who are going. I'm heading to baja to fish and then back to the High Sierra to camp ,soak and fish some more!by LaughingBear - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
