Directions:
Heading south from Flagstaff heading to Dane Springs? Example left on FS road 0000, right on FS road 0000
any suggestions would help. Also thinking Prius or Caravan depending on the road.
I have the map posted showing the roads.
Thanks don't what wander around to much.

I'll be headed up Thursday afternoon sometime. I'll have 2 packrafts, paddles, and life jackets with me should anyone care to join me for a paddle at Bear Canyon lake on Friday and Saturday. Probably do a moonlight paddle Thursday or Friday night as well

Just came off the rim right now. I spent last night at Aspen Springs just a few miles west of our site for next week.

Highs in the high 70s, lows at maybe 50°. We got hit by a nice storm yesterday afternoon including nearby lightning strikes and hail.

By the way, hunters were not a problem at all this weekend. We didn't see any while backpacking down the Houston Brothers trail. We did see plenty of people that had fifth-wheels and quads set up along the forest roads but that's it.

So, sorry for the 1000 questions, put the GPS coordinates posted in the original email can't be correct (N 34*28.088' W 111*08.832'). this isn't anywhere close to the directions that are included in that post (at least according to Google). SO I have pulled a screen capture out of Google Earth of an area I believe that the camp site is supposed to be. Can anyone tell me if this is correct?

Perfect, that's about 100 yards away from the spot identified in the image I attached to my last post... Thanks clean!

Houston, we have coordinates. Commence landing procedures in four days...

For the record, I'll be that annoying guy who shows up at about 9.30 on Friday night. I don't think we will be able to leave Phoenix until about 6 or 6.30. Luckily the forest is full of trees so it shouldn't be a big deal to find somewhere to hang.
