Rewind the clock about 38 years back. I was with my Grandpa and we were hauling 6 bulls out to the cows. We were in a 2 ton truck with a stock rack. We made it all the way up to this spring and popped 3 of 4 of our back tires. Grandpa had to walk back to the ranch 10+ miles away while I sat and played In the stream and waited. I was 6 years old and too slow to walk with him and too big to carry. So I waited and played in the stream for what felt like days.
This spring later was completely covered by a flood that deposited around 4 to 5 feet of dirt and mud over the spring
So I decided to finally dig it back out. Didn’t know if I would be able to remember where it was. But finally found it. Even in this extreme dry year this spring is running around 10 gallons a minute
