I live in Decatur, Georgia, next to Atlanta, and am planning a solo 5-day primative camping trip in early October within 100 miles of Flagstaff. My criteria are:
--water
--seclusion
--much beauty
--strenuous is OK, maybe preferred
--bonus: good side trails, especially historic ones.
Iâve looked at 3 AZ trail books, & narrowed my choices to 5: Fossil Springs, West Clear Creek, Secret Canyon, Bell, and Kelsey-Dorsey. (BUT, I'm VERY open to other suggestions.)
Iâm an experienced backpacker, with little experience in the West. Last fall, I spent 3 days with a buddy at Phantom Ranch--down North Kaibab, back up Bright Angel. 1st time at G.C. & 1st AZ trip ever.
I understand that some of these 5 are popular, but secluded on weekdays, especially in Oct. True? I'd appreciate any suggestions you have--the more broad and detailed, the better. Thanks so much.
Answer
Do the S.Bass > Tonto > Boucher Loop hike n GCNP
Do it in that direction Pay for a ride out to the S. Bass trail-head .
Navigating the West Tonto Trail will be a major challenge for you Trade tent weight for water carrying capacity and have a great time
Don't F** k Up ! because if you get hurt between S. Bass & Boucher there will be nobody out there to rescue you.

Does anyone know the story of the Mogollon Monster that is told at Spade Ranch at the BSA camp Geronimo?

The camp is in Arizona and I heard the story when I was younger, but all I remember of the story is that I enjoyed it. I can't find the story on the internet. I'm not talking about Sasquatch, but about this particular story.

Here is a link to "Weird Arizona" in which they talk about the Mongollon Monster: http://books.google.com/books?id=LYr3fSjwfMYC&pg=PA81&lpg=PA81&dq=the+Mogollon+Monster+Story&source=web&ots=qwWB3JiEJZ&sig=fXdff2N6zmXdJI_DcPp87QdWoZ8&hl=en&ei=61GFSfaqBJqqtQO1xqHPDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=6&ct=result#PPA80,M1
Here is another campfire story I found about the Mongollon Monster:
The Mogollon Monstor
Legend has it that way back in the canyons that surround the area of the Mogollon Rim country a large hairy beast lives. Folks in this part of the country call him the Mogollon monster. He is said to be at least 7 foot tall, has long black hair. His home range is from Prescott north to Williams east to Winslow south to Heber and West to Payson.
At night while sound asleep in their tents, campers have awoke to a awful racket, only to stumble out of their tents to find that all their food has been eaten. No one knows for sure where this beast has come from, but the ones who have had him visit their camp knows that he is big, ugly and smells of dead fish.
It is said that his favorite snack is marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate bars you all know them as smores. It is also said that who ever catches this beast will be rewarded with enough smores to last a lifetime of camping trips.
As you travel to youâre favorite camping spot. Keep and eye on the pavement. It has been noted that as the beast moves around he will some times cross the roads after the highway crews have just finished painting the lines along the highways. And some times the beast will step in the paint and leave his footprints on the pavement.
Donât be alarmed if you spot him for he is very shy, and will not hurt you. All he wants is to steal your smores for himself.
Im pretty sure thats not what you wanted but I did my best, amazingly those campfire stories are kept really close to the vest.
