hey there say, decko... and then, Dapper Dan...
(wayyyyyyyyy at the beginning of this thread, as i see it was just bumped and is old... hope you remember the springs, you will most likely have to go back and see the pictures... start AT THE BEGINING...)
where, please, are those two hot springs of?
WAY, back at the beginning, as i said...
also, can't say:
at about the second page, or so of this thread...
what is the name of that spring, please...
everyone seems to know it... jody has some very nice
pics of that, and my brother chappy and his wife, have
been there, too, with very nice pics...
thanks guys...
i also liked seeing randishi's pic of the ?baboons? in the
hot springs... they sure know what feeels good, too, so it seems...
say, all, thanks for sharing these...
i love seeeing hot springs...
*when this thread first started, i was thinking
of the HOT springs that were TOO hot to get near! at lassen, :O
we saw THOSE as kids... had never seen the
'possible to approach' kinds, :)
well, seeing how many pics are on this... and some won't load, it will be
a long time if ever, before i can commen more, but

hey there say, all..
okay, i got my pic from some stuff that i had from mark
has the ol' pup dog in it:
you all, please, WHERE is this...and WHICH hot spring is it?
i KEEP seeing stuff similar, supposedly??? in the same area...
not sure if there is only one, in the area, or if there is more...
does anyone have a picture of the whole area, with a wider vew?
also--jody's pic is very much the same, but from a view that shows the
mountains, and perhaps is from the other side-or-back, angle of
THIS pool...
thanks for the info, and name and more ABOUT it...
i never know which thing i am reading on line, when i try to find it,
as there is NO picture like this pool SHOWN...
also, where does the pipe lead to, and does i always remain
as 'filling' or what???
:)

That is Shepard hot spring in Long Valley CA . The g/f and I were there over Christmas break , mid week , dusk , 2 feet of snow on the ground , and were surprised to still find people soaking in it . Pretty popular tub ...
... So many nice springs in that area .

Thought I had better mention that The Robinson Bar Ranch in Idaho is still up for sale. Details are in the last few posts on this thread.
I did forget to mention that it sets about 1/2 mile from a Class III section of the Salmon River, with a Class IV section, upstream about 3-6 miles.
It is about 15 miles from the Sawtooth Mountains, and 75 miles from Sun Valley.
Great site for the "Old Climber's Home."

I'm willing to make the sacrifice, and manage it for you folks.

Just an opinion here ... But I always felt it was bad form to camp out right next to a tub and monopolize it , maybe if you are at a super remote , low use tub , but that guy has his camper literally on top of one of the most popular tubs on the east side ...
... Maybe it was long ago when those tubs weren't as popular , who knows .

I was just gunna say the same thing, making camp next to a tub is super bad form. Besides, that is LADWP land, NO CAMPING. They do not HAVE to let folks on their land. Access issues have been dicey for a long time at those tubs.(Same issue along the Buttermilk Rd.)
Oh, if you have ever camped next to a tub and had someone blast their car horn as they cruise by? That might have been me.

whoa, hoss. LADWP is a branch of the government of the city of los angeles, a public entity which is governed by an elected city council and mayor which appoints a public utilities commission.
los angeles grabbed a lot of land outside of its municipal boundaries quite awhile back so's it could bring water down here and "grow". that in itself has some pretty questionable legal basis. LADWP land is not "their" land. it's public land, and administration of it is a matter of public policy, not something "private".
why los angeles has to mucker about the hot springs in long valley when all it's doing is drawing snowmelt for drinking water ought to be a matter of some concern to all of us. environmental and land use issues here ought to be primarily the concern of the state of california, not a local water and power provider one step removed from public accountability.

Tony, hate to pick nits with ya, but that land is indeed privately owned by the city of Los Angles. Now what they do with it might be subject to public policy, and how they got it was unquestionably underhanded, and illegal, but it is theirs. Totally intermingled with BLM and FS lands too.
And really, in hindsight, aren't we glad? Otherwise, a huge chunk of the Eastern Sierra would be developed like in other resort corridors. (Shudder)
Way back at the beginning of this thread, someone posted a picture of a semi-developed looking hot springs in winter, is that the one at Steamboat?

Looks like it. Strawberry HS, if I'm not mistaken.
There was one on the third page that nobody identified. It's on the ET highway in NV. Old abandoned hot spring resort. Worth a stop.

Tony, don't be disingenuous. You know better.
If someone gets hurt on land, who do they sue? The landowner. If they get ill from soaking in the water in a hot spring, who do they sue, the landowner.
That's us.
The easiest and most responsible way for LADWP to protect us Angelinos from such suits, is to block access, which they have the legal right to do.
They have not done that, because they feel a responsibilitiy to continue to allow access to public lands, and consider the risk low.
But idiots getting in their face could probably change that.

don't be disingenuous yourself, ken. these springs have been soaked in year-round since tonto and the lone ranger took breaks from filming at lone pine. the government has special immunities to all kinds of frivolous lawsuits. you yourself ought to know better. the city of los angeles fretted and stammered like that before we got them to adopt stoney point.
