rope swing

Hey all,
A couple years ago my brother and I discovered the awesome swimming holes at fossil creek; particularly the rope swing. Recently we've been trying to find a rope swing comparable to the one at fossil springs that doesn't involve that horrible hike out now that the flume/flume road are closed indefinitely. Anybody have any suggestions? We keep seeing info on the internet about a swimming hole and rope swing at the end of the homestead trail at oak creek, which seems to be an exclusively jeep trail since I can't find any record of it's location other than on jeep tour websites (which don't actually tell you where it is, they just make you want to go to the swimming hole at the end). Our plan was just to mountain bike along oak creek looking for it, but any hints as to it's specific location would be awesome. I believe that is it. Thanks!
-Joel

You might want to check out the book Day Trips with a Splash. Swimming Holes of the Southwest by Pancho Doll. He describes an area on West Clear Creek called Bull Pen. The rope swing there looks freakin' awesome!

In response to TrackerAZ's reply: I intend to explore the entire area this summer. I don't know why it has taken me so long to get around to it!
