The Jeepers Creepers had a nice but long trip to the site of the Childs Power Plant along the Verde River on Nov. 29. Five vehicles took 14 members and guests to this historic remote spot Flowing springs at the head of Fossil Canyon provided enough head of water to supply two generating stations. Both have been decommissioned by Arizona Public Service Co. and the Fossil Creek road down the canyon is closed with no plans to reopen it.
We gathered for a coffee break at the Mazatazal Casino south of Payson.
We found a nice spot for our lunch, with a fire for cooking hot dogs, etc. along the banks of the Verde River close to the power plant site..
More eager eaters!
And still more.
