    Fossil Creek Waterfall Map
    Wow, so it sounds like there's a bunch of you looking for directions to
    the Fossil Creek waterfall now.  I did a little search in order to
    provide a link, but I could only find maps of an 8 mile hike in the
    area, with no information on the waterfall or how to get to it. That
    won't do.

    Solved!  Here's a quicky-map of the 1-mile trail from the
    parking lot to the waterfall, with driving directions from Phoenix/
    Flagstaff or from Mesa/Gilbert. Click on the image of the map to download.

    Please bring a real road map too — and sunblock.  Be safe & have fun!

  • Whaa-Hoo!

    What:     Best idea ever

    When:    This week

    Where:   Fossil Creek

    Why:      'Cuz it's dang hot outside

    Isaac's
    sister Evie and her daughter Maggie came for a visit this week.  Beyond
    shopping, and taking Maggie's senior pictures, their must-do list
    included swimming in the Arizona heat. (Not enough warmth in Washington
    this summer.)

    We packed up the kids and headed to our favorite swimming hole, Fossil Creek, about 2 1/2 hours north. 

    What can I say?  I had a blast.

    On
    our way home, we stopped in Pine for pastries — a little ol' baker-man
    braids bread inside a funny little grocery store — another favorite
    stop.  We still don't know the name of the place; though it's right next
    to the Sidewinders Saloon if you're looking for it. We are
    always too distracted by the pastries, I guess.
