The Magic water hole

The Commander and Kadizzle have been hiking the same trail in the Superstition Mountains for years.  Along the trail is an Indian site.  One things Indians need as much as anyone else is water.  It always puzzled Kadizzle where they were getting water. The streams run sometimes, but there are  a lot of dry times.

Today The Commander insisted we take an off trail exploration hike.  The goal was to find some interesting artifacts.  That goal was not reached, but the Kadizzilites decided to take a wild route back.  As the Kadizzilites walked down a canyon they came across the pool pictured above.  Unless you came upon the pool from the exact correct direction, you would never find it.  The pool was amazing.  It appeared a little spring fed it all the time.  Other times water might gush into it. 

The most unique thing about the pool was the depth. It appeared to be perhaps 20 feet deep.  It could have held as much as 15 or 20 thousand gallons of water.   If water came in even at a trickle to keep the water somewhat fresh, it would get the local Indians through some tough times.  We have hiked withing 300feet of the pool many times, so have thousands of people, but it is doubtful more than a handful have ever seen it.  You could jump from twenty feet up into the pool on a warm day.  It would be so refreshing.
