That meadow looks like an awesome place to visit with a friend. Long rod, long line, frisky fish. Worth every minute of the drive I'm certain.
ReplyDeleteIt’s 20 years now that I’ve been visiting this place.
DeleteIt’s on sacred Apache land.
Non-tribal members can not access the upper Headwaters.
But we had a friend take us up here.
So many firsts have been in this valley...
But there is water here like this that you are welcome to join me or I’ll point you to.
From Phoenix, where I live, 230 miles one way. 20 plus years of mostly up and back in a day, a long day but totally worth it.
