We drove around the lake and surrounding abandoned and deteriorating campgrounds, but when we stopped to take pictures of the old resort buildings, we were told to leave by the tribal ranger. A permit is required to be in this area. The lake itself is very scenic. A couple of people were fishing. The deteriorating campground areas are sad. It was at one time a very substantial campground. Some people are still camping there. The ranger mentioned that there is a church camp that goes on in the area during the summer. Maybe that is so. It looked very much like people were living there.

We were sad to be kicked out, but that is our own fault for not having a permit. Plus, we felt out of place in the area.

3am departure from Pima with Addie to meet Lauren in Globe.
Met up with Lauren at 5am, loaded everything into 1 vehicle and took off up Hwy 60 towards Show Low.
First stop along the way was at Seneca Lake. The "ghost town" tour out front was way cool and the lake was nicer than expected. The sunrise was watched here before continuing on.
Next stop was made at Salt River crossing. We walked down to the river then over the foot bridge. River was flowing good and another quick stop was made at the north overlook for the scenic views.
Then it was a straight shot to Show Low and Fool Hollow Rec Area. We checked in to our campsite for the stay at Cinnamon Teal Loop #13 - One of the coolest developed campsites I have ever stayed at, well kept and with a great view down onto the lake below.
With everything in place, the plan was to just have ourselves a great relaxing weekend ..... and the plan worked!
Separate logs posted of trip .....
