tjhunt2 Report post Posted March 16, 2014 Anyone who has driven towards Payson from the valley has driven within 200yrds of this little oasis. I was surprised to see this spring and was wondering if any of you have been to it. Someone took the time to build this in the side of the hill where the spring starts. Then about 10yrds outside it has a little wallow that had deer and pig tracks in it. This is the concrete tank it supplies water to. I bet I have driven by this a thousand times to say the least before finding it last month. Anyone else know where this is? TJ 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjhunt2 Report post Posted March 16, 2014 Ive found a couple spots like this up that way, but not this one. Any trail cams or tree stands/blinds on it? Nice find! No tree stands or blinds. I saw a lion close to this spot a couple years ago. I just might put out a camera. Not sure I would want to listen to the traffic all day. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted March 16, 2014 I have never driven up that way, but it does bring memories of a very similar spring/concrete tank, I found in unit 27. But it was about a mile up a canyon.Had the same configuration as the one you found. I always wonder who built those tanks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjhunt2 Report post Posted March 17, 2014 Well, I got sent a pm by a cwt member who definitely knows where it's at and it's not anyone who replied to this post already. He might not want anyone to know he knows so I won't mention his name. Like I said earlier it's not a big deal just wanted to change the subject away from the draw and have some fun.

Oh how wrong you are. I'm no way even close to being in that catagory. It's no secret I spend alot of time there but please don't use that expert term associated in the same sentance with me. That's some pretty funny stuff right there. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
