Mountain biking the 10th segment of the General Crook Trail from Rim Top Trailhead (V71), in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, to the "far east side" of the hamlet of Forest Lakes (V80). In 1871, General George Crook surveyed a supply road west from Fort Apache, Arizona, across the Mogollon Rim to Camp Verde, then on to Fort Whipple in Prescott. The General Crook Road was built in 1872. The Army used the road until 1896, and civilians until 1928, when Rim Road replaced it. P markers represent miles west of Camp Verde. V markers represent miles east of Camp Verde.

Hiking the lower portion of Miller Canyon: Starting from FR 9724V, I dropped down a steep & brush-choked gully, into Miller Canyon, just below Crackerbox Canyon. From the canyon bottom, I hiked Miller Canyon to its end at East Clear Creek. I then climbed out along the Arizona Trail to FR 123A. New flower species for me today included creeping barberry and rough whitlowgrass. In the Coconino National Forest, Miller Canyon flows downhill, north from the Mogollon Rim at Hi View Point to East Clear Creek, just upstream from C.C. Craigan Reservoir. Miller Canyon is bounded by Miller Ridge, Blazed Ridge, McCarty Ridge and Battleground Ridge.

A lot of my non-hiking spare time the last few months has gone into working on the Sunnyslope Murder Tour ( https://rumble.com/v4fmhsc-sunnyslope-murder-tour.html ). Sunnyslope isn't a large neighborhood, but this yearwe had a homicide in February, March and April. Plus a 10-year old cold case was solved in April. And I am tracking them all. In the meantime,enjoy some Phoenix Traffic Stress Disorder (PTSD)! 1) Meth addict shenanigans. 2) Cripple shenanigans. 3) Bum shenanigans. 4) Algebra. 5) Mobster. ____________________ Blog: http://prestonm.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/PrestonMcMurry
