it might be worth further testing! our whole family feels queezy after harvesting and consuming a bunch, not too serious, we hope but sorta regret this harvest
The pin on the map is currently in the wrong place. Don’t dink from where the pin is showing (on the trail south of the parking lot). That would be on the foot path beneath the road, and there are creeks that I would not drink out of without filtration.
The clean spring is north east (up hill) of the parking lot (top and right of where they have put the pin on the map).
We found a PVC pipe coming out along the old road bed NE of the parking lot. Is this the spring? The pipe was open at the top (where water entered the pipe) so we did not collect from it. Water was very cold!
