Beck Hot Pots in SanPete County, Utah
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2016 2:07 pm
I've been trying to identify where the mud pots shown in this video are for years, any help appreciated! The same video used to be on YouTube but has disappeared. There is still a copy on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/13943730.
There are a couple of clues, they are referred to as the Beck Hot Pots and reference was made to the "Beck compound" in the text to the original YouTube posts. The area around is flat and may be in one of the two river valleys in SanPete County. A hundred years ago there was a Beck hot pots but the area is now destroyed by I-15 as best I can tell. And I don't see I-15 in the background of any of the videos. I've spent hours at high resolution on Google satellite view checking along the Sevier River valley to no avail. I tried to engage Dave King, the author, in conversation to no avail. I've verified that there are folks with Beck surnames in SanPete County, too many actually, they're everywhere.
Sure looks like a great place! If anyone can find it, I'll find a way to get permission for us to visit.
