Tridents Hole


View Larger Map This is the former location of Tridents Hole. Prior to the water tank and the coulee, there was a pretty deep arroyo running through this space. Just east of here the whole shebang turns into the Cibola National Forest. The hike up through that canyon is pretty nice as I recall. (It's been over 20 years.)

Anyway, Tridents Hole, like UTK (U Tappa Keg - on the other side of the hill seen below) was a big party spot, though it tended to be one we used more during the day. This was more of a hangout for the four-wheeler crowd.

I remember one day when one of our crowd, who worked as a lot-boy at Galles Chev (I'm forgetting who) showed up at school with a new pick-up, possibly a LUV. He said he'd gotten it at work and led us to believe he'd purchased it. We all went out to Tridents Hole and he dogged the hell out of it -- including losing two of the hubcaps. After a couple of hours, he fessed up that he'd just "borrowed" it, and left to return it to the lot. As I recall, he washed it and hid it in the back.

I can't show exact satellite shots because I don't have the coordinates. I need to get a topo map or, better yet!, a gps unit.

Spam and rudeness will not be tolerated. We're here to have a few grins, and if you can't abide, move along. Did I mention Spam? Because if I didn't, here it is. NO SPAM!! That includes saying you like our blog and it's thought-provoking (which we know is a lie) and here's a link to your blog. Basically, if you link post a link to a for-profit site without the express written consent of me or the Big Vance-a-rino, I'll delete your comment and you'll look like an ass or I'll mock you mercilesly for being a dork.
