5guyshunting Report post Posted July 10, 2016 Looks like some changes are coming to this great campsite. It sure looks to me like it is going to be shut down. I couldn't get a straight answer from the forest service. They just talked some crap about an endangered snake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MathewQuigly Report post Posted July 10, 2016 Endangered snake really. It the snake isn't smart enough to survive then it needs to be extinct That was a nice sight to camp hope they don't close 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted July 10, 2016 Not surprising, unfortunately. Me and that Quigly guy recently tried to ride from Yellow Jacket Spring to Black Butte only to come upon a new fence and AZGFD sign saying it was now a designated riparian sanctuary.

Not to hijack a meaningful thread, but seriously? Yes. I forget the name of the drainage but it was now off limits. Ever been to Tule Springs? Same deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allforelk Report post Posted July 12, 2016 I'm not familiar with Tule by name, but if it's in the b the area around Yellow Jacket is an area that I love for many reasons. It's the tops for variety of tracks around water. Definitely a loss considering how many make it there in reality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted July 12, 2016 No, Tule is north of Lake Pleasant. But Game and Fish has closed it just like this drainage just ne of yellow jacket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SWDesertRat Report post Posted July 13, 2016 No, Tule is north of Lake Pleasant. But Game and Fish has closed it just like this drainage just ne of yellow jacket. Tule has been fenced to exclude cattle (mainly burros) for 20 years. It's BLM land, not Game and Fish. Cool spot to visit once you get past China Dam. Any area around pleasant without a fence gets blown out by the burros. You can still get into Tule, has an access gate for you and the critters. Sorry to OP for derail but wanted to state the facts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to OP for derail but wanted to state the facts... Facts? No, AZGFD has closed the road and gated it at the homestead and it is locked. In the last 15 years I have never seen it unlocked. Of course it's BLM, duh. The road used to take you past the springs and to the road to Tiptop. There is no 'critter' gate and there's a 4'x6' azgfd sign saying those are designated riparian lands same as the drainage near Yellow Jacket. And no, there are no gates for people or their critters. If there were a critter gate, how is the fence going to keep out burros and cattle? Those are the facts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
