Description
This is a roadside spring which seeps out of the hillside about twenty five feet above the roadside, and then is channeled to the roadside in a cast iron pipe. The water remains clear even when there has been a lot of rain, and normal creeks turn brown with the tannins. It has a steady flow which will fill a five gallon carboy in a couple of minutes.
The spring is largely ignored by most of the locals except for a few devoted spring water enthusiasts, but there is a highway pullout across the road and a bit of a driveway leading directly to the spring, so it has garnered a certain amount of respect in the past.
“Some locals have been drinking this water for years. Not much seems to be known about the history of it including testing. I hope to explore it more in the future and bring more information to light as I learn things. I also dream of building a better housing/ piping arrangement than what is currently in place. It certainly looks like a bonafide spring, because I did a hike up the hill behind where it seeps from the ground, and the ground is dry all the way up the hill to the summit. I would say that the summit is only about a few hundred feet above the spring.” – Daniel Trail
