Callout for Information, Secrets, Mysteries

 Even though it snowed again spring is pretty much here. The skies are clearing, the roads are drying and the hills are ready for someone to traverse them and discover their secrets.

My explorations are dwindling. Mines are closing, caves are gated, and water tanks mights be repaired (see picture caption for water tank update).

This, my friends is a callout for any information you may have about exciting places you have been to or heard of.  My list for Southern Utah is running out. I've revisited most things we went to during or after high school and more besides. Things you could include: abandoned places, anything underground, cool natural formations, you know the kind of stuff. Or if you know someone that knows some secret, mysteries--let me know who I can talk to. Please, no alien conspiracies, lost plates tales, or the like. Ghost stories are acceptable as long as there is a place to visit with them mentioned.

I did recently find an old document detailing a mine tunnel near Milford that was excavated and opened into natural caves. Have yet to find a good day to go out there.

I've included a random sampler of some exploits from the last few years.


 "Catching out" is the phrase many use to denote train hopping.

 The Cedar City concrete water tank built in 1939. Last year the city completed an assessment on repairs or replacement. Over $480,000 to replace it or something like $250,000 to repair it. Goodbye water tank adventures. I've actually been down there four or five times since being back in Cedar. Mostly for photographs.
 Nate, you might remember this place from the photo above and the two below, although this was a recent trip.
