Warm Spring Flat Warning

So I finally made it out to this beautiful location and I have to say it is one of the most beautiful locations I have visited to date! I got a late start onto the trail and ended up not even starting to hike out till the sun fully set. Mainly because we spent too much time jumping off cliffs and swimming.

On the way out I got pulled over by the rez cops not because I was speeding or did anything wrong. Only because someone reported that there was a car down there and they where suspicious of our activities... The cops told me people have been stealing from the rez, rocks animals, wood.... They will come in early and leave when it is dark to avoid being seen. They searched through all of our bags and let us go free. I am very Glad I knew better than to take any of the crystals pottery shards or arrowheads that I found! Not because I could have been caught but they are now there for the next people to find and enjoy.
I asked the cop what I could have done differently He said just call and let the game and fish department know what you are doing ahead of time.

It sounds like this is becoming a habit along that road. Ha.. They just cant figure out why anyone would park out there.

It's a good thing you didn't have tennis rackets in your pack. ;)

Nope. It all burned down, water and everything. Don't go out there.
