SEEKING WATER #3: ON THE WAY TO LOST LAKE TANK.....

 

 

We Found Tanks!

We Found Wood!

 

I found a map on-line that showed the way to Lost Lake Tank.  Wait, Lost Lake Tank?  Whoever names these bodies of water, please, please make up your mind!  We packed our lunches and got on our way in good time.  

Ron is very familiar with the area, and knew of one tank we could stop at on the way:

 

Horse Park Tank

 

We continued, and a mile or so up the road Ron's head turned so hard I heard his neck snap.  What could it be?  Oak, of course!  He keeps his wood cutting equipment in the back of the truck and we had no time constraints, so:

Ron forgot his hat (unheard of!) so a kerchief made do.

Additional map study revealed there were two more tanks on our way:

Cowboy Jr. Tank

and

Cowboy Tank

After lunch, we again continued and found the road to Lost Lake Tank. The road was closed to vehicles, and was something of a walk.  With the wood cutting and loading already under our belts, we decided we'd find it another day.  Now we had a choice of how to work our way home.  Boring: not too far on a FS road, then paved Lake Mary Road. Not Boring: stay on FS roads and wend our way back through Munds Park.  Who needs boring???  Not only was the drive beautiful, but the tanks kept coming:

Antelope Park Tank

 

Weimer Tank

 

Mud Spring Tank

Rock Dike Tank

  

Lee Tank

Bert Tank

Estelle Tank

We never imagined there would be quite this many tanks. 10 in all, and every one with water.  This water seeking adventure is causing me to revise my mental picture of Arizona being such a dry state.  In fact, I have in mind "Land of 10,000 Tanks".  Oh wait, have I plagiarized another state's nickname?
