So "The Idiot" decides that we should take a nice hike to one of the best swimming holes in the back country (which face it the vast majority of AZ is) of AZ as decided by Backpacker Magazine. Well the drive was rough and then the hike was about 2 miles longer than noted. Pretty country though. Then there was trouble with the enthusiasm of going down the mountain to the swimming hole, as evidenced by the additional 30# on C.O.'s back. We then were able to enjoy ( after a loooonnngggg walk down) this swimming hole which is fed by a spring that literally roils water out of the earth, good to drink (so far) too! Then the long sojourn back up the mountain, which Senor Idioto had been dreading the whole time that we were "enjoying" the swimming hole. Well wonders never cease, the dog walked all the way up with lots of encouragement and even Sam had to be carried only a couple of times. WOW! We got to the truck just a really dark pitch black was settling on Central AZ and drove as quick as we could and stopped at a great Mexican Restaurant in Payson. Now it is 1am and we are going to bed.
