Coon Bluff - Mesa, AZ - April 2-4
Posted: Tue Feb 24, 2015 3:55 pmThis is iffy - but I will be stopping in the Phoenix area for a couple days. My intentions are to boondock at the Coon Bluff CG - along the Salt River - in the Tonto NF. If anyone is available to come or visit, let me know. I am hoping to stay 3 nights, and spend either Friday night or Saturday afternoon with friends (the folks I stayed with before Quartzsite - who are now moved into Assisted Living - and the daughter I was helping).
Looks like I'd be arriving 4/2 and leaving 4/5.
If you want more info - it does cost - all of $3 a night with your senior or access pass - or you can get an annual pass with those passes for $15 and stay as much as you want. You have to purchase in advance - can't do so at the site.

And info on the Tonto passes: http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/tonto/pas ... ev3_018733
After I'm close to the date, I'll purchase either 2 or 3 nights of passes to use. Next year, I'll probably get the $15 pass and spend more time in the area. At least that's what I'm thinking now. Jean (Sparkle) and I stayed there once - where we met Ava for the first time!
