You pretty much nailed it buddy. Morristown was once known as Castle Hot Springs Junction. The 16 room hotel was primarily built as a stop off, overnight location for wealthy tourists coming and going first by railroad then by stagecoach to Castle Hot Springs Resort. I've been driving by this place for over 40 years, drank at the bar in the 80's, now helping the new owner bring this 123 year old Arizona treasure back to life.

I'm going to endorse a guy on my work crew whom does off-road recovery work. I know well he gives stranded motorists priority over his day job and does remote welding, under carriage and metal fab work too when needed. Put this name and number in your phone. Mike Morgan +1 602-397-7897

Nah, that was it's modern name. It was originally a hotel that sat south of the tracks about a mile from it's current location.. Morristown went by a different name in 1899.. Clue: The name will make perfect sense when you hear it.

Go for it

Part II. What was it's name back in the day?

Correct Should have known a railroad guy would have it.

Now multiply that times the lakes surface area, o my.

Yes and the Inflation Reduction act. Amazing how a culture that can't tell an innie from an outtie thinks they are going to control nature

Was just reading an article from the Las Vegas Journal, Lake Mead has risen 15" in the past week. They're partially crediting the wettest monsoon in decades for that. They must have some real brainiacs working there.

I pass by a fellow every day whom is clearly squatting on State Trust, he's had his trailer parked there close to a year. He'll probably move on once the place fills up with ATVs this fall.

And then went on a trail ride with her and her horse Harley the very next day lol.

I'd have my mother in law straddle that cable long before I d risk soiling my floor mats. Besides, I think she'd like the fresh air and being a part of the action.

If the ol lady is volunteering at the food bank down there Saturday and you still have it maybe she can swing by?

Yes sling and psychrometric wheel . Had a 40" mercurial barometer too which we dialed every Thursday at 12Z to synch the aneroids. Was among the first couple dozen people in AZ to be trained on the Doppler color radar. Prior to that we used a B-52s air to air radar which showed clouds and precip well. Memories (I know, big whoop, yawn).

Problem is the automated WX stations are notoriously inaccurate. A recent audit of automated stations showed 96% violated NOAA standards for environmental placement and reliable metering. This is true with rain gauge precipitation amounts as well as wet and dry bulb temps and pressure. When I was a young Airman plotting weather charts, we simply ignored automated data.

Use em all the time

Brought us more rain. Something satisfying I'm getting wet I'm the desert.

The complexe's meso-cyclonic rotation had me running for my safe space.

I'm in the far NW valley. We may have received 2" of rain in just 20 minutes.

HR1808 passed in the house today

The ol lady had a bad accident last fall and she recently went in and had her ankle rebuilt and knee replaced. She had been wanting an aquaponics set up for some time and I surprised her with one when she got home from the hospital. There's several goldfish in the pond and soon we'll introduce talapia.

Daily I park not only on State Trust land, but next to the sign advising as such. My hunting license is my pass and I spend a couple hours hunting. Would like to avoid buying a state pass to hang on the mirror, gub gets enough money. Also want to avoid the hassle of a ticket. Thinking of printing my hunting license number and hanging it on the mirror. Anyone being cited?

My road once bordered State Trust Land. The target shooting and illegal dumping was almost 24 hours a day. When residents complained, Peoria PD was the closest LE and that was a long ways to respond. AZ couldn't get rid of that land fast enough.
