Deep Kaw Kaw

 So here's where I happen to take leave of my senses.  A short hike should be easy for me as I am from Montana & do a bit of hunting ect........  To get to Deep Creek Hot Springs, you drive about 40 miles north of Redlands & go off roading for about 10 miles, through the Bowen Ranch.  As you can see the weather is great, about 65 or so up in the Mountains where the springs are at.  Quite beautiful actually & a nice drive.  My hiking book "afoot & afield in the Inland Empire" says "moderate" 4 mile in and out.  They forgot to mention the 900' elevation change was all down hill in & of course all up hill out.  The creek next to the hot springs is like colder than hell & my feet were froze attempting to cross the creek, then with all the people in the springs (some naked ugly men & one plump naked women) I decided to forgo the dip & just enjoy the area (I still think they are aiming the proton beam @ my head).


Above the picture is the canyon the creek comes out of about 1/2 miles above the hot springs.  Below the hot springs is about in the middle of the picture just below where the creek disappears. 

View on the Trail going in.

View of the hot springs, where the people are. The Creek is COLD!

View looking up steam from the hot springs
 The picture above, the little ridge in the middle going down from the right is where the hot springs are.  Just at the base of the ridge.


Treatment is going well I had # 13 on Friday & have no detectable side effects as of yet.  I am Keeping busy with treatments, walks, gym, & still finding stuff here in Redlands & the surrounding area.  Not making much money but am having no trouble spending it. May just take it easy today, but may find a little easier hike to explore.  You could try to google earth it......Am off to the coffee shop for a bit of refreshments, already past 7am.  This going to bed @ 8:30 is hard on a person.
