Bullhead City River Regatta
The big summer event in Bullhead City,
Arizona for the past four years is the
down the Colorado River. On August 13
th
and 14
th
dozens of teams of inner tubes and
some of the most creative and outlandish
floating vessels ever assembled will meet to
drift the river to Rotary Park. This year, the
Regatta stretches to Davis Camp, just below
the dam, where the big floats will be assem-
bled and launched. Also new this year, the
large vessels will be allowed to use personal
watercraft to keep them away from docks
and rocks. Landing will be at Rotary Park
where the "Ye Hafta Afta" party will greet
floaters and spectators with a variety of ven-
dors, music and more fun.
(Continued on Page 2 Column 1)
The delays may begin in May 2010 and
go through October 2010. A road project
may cause delays for those entering or leav-
ing the East Entrance on State Highway 9
between the Entrance and route 89. Delays
could be up to 3 hours. Contact the Park

Carole Lombard Crash Site Hike
On June 21st, 3 friends set off in search of
this 1942
armed with some vague information off the
internet. Though the venture proved unsuc-
cessful, all are always up for a new hike into
the unknown. Another attempt is planned.
Simply searching for information on
happened some 68 years ago, interested us
enough to start researching some of the his-
tory. We are hoping someone reads this
and can provide more detailed information.
A jeep was used to get the team up some
rugged terrain into the general area before
setting out on foot. The trio hiked a short
distance and then started up a small wash at
the eastern base of Mt Potosi, which is west
of Las Vegas. The hike quickly turned into
a rather steep climb in loose rock, desert
plants that wait to poke you or scratch you,
along with the early morning temperatures
climbing easily to the 100 degree mark.
There is no trail, only rugged terrain.
The three of us fanned out as we climbed
hoping to stumble into some of the visible
evidence that apparently is still scattered
about the Mountain side. (Continued Page 2

Havasu Falls Trip Log
Carole Lombard Hike (Continued from page 1)
Our intentions are not to provide public in-
formation on the exact location. We agree with
some, that indicate this area should be protected
from those with intentions other than leaving
the area as it is found, a sacred area, and not
removing objects found. Research indicates
there may still be human remains scattered
about since this was such a violent accident.
And also the fact it occurred in such rugged
terrain.
For those that have never heard of Carole
Lombard or don't remember, do some web
research. It is interesting, She was noted for
her comedic roles in several classic films of
the 1930's. She was married to Clark Gable.
Lombard made her first film debut at the
age of twelve. Later involved in numerous
films.
At the age of 33, Lombard had attended a
World War II war bond rally. When return-
ing home via airplane, she was involved in
the tragic accident just outside Las Vegas.
From what we found, it was never deter-
mined what caused the crash.
Sadly other items of interest around the area
such a Native American Petroglyphs have been
damaged in recent times. Lost for the genera-
tions to come, by those that destroy, deface, or
attempt to remove them.
So our next attempt will be done with more
in depth research, GPS, and during the cooler
months of fall. We hope to share more info,
images and such, but do not expect us to reveal
the exact location
CROSSROADS OF THE WEST
Gun and Knife Show
We had many visitors at the TOPOGEAR
booth on June 12th and 13th, held in Las Ve-
gas, at Cashman field. The event was very busy
with a large amount of traffic, lookers, buyers
and people just out to spend the day.
Vendor booths covered a wide variety of
items from guns, ammo and knives, to jewelry,
books, tools and jerky. TOPOGEAR had some
awesome bargains. You missed a great event if
you were unable to make it.

There are some deep holes in the creek that
looked interesting. I don't know much about
the fishing on Spring Creek, whether it is
stocked in this area or not.
The gate at the end of the road is shown on
the map, and if you are backpacking, you can
follow the road as it parallels the creek as you
follow the water, going down stream. This
section opens up, and there are more camp-
sites.
I imagine the further you go from the gate,
the more privacy you will have. Later in the
spring and summer, as the brush starts to
grow, you might have to do some bushwhack-
ing to get to the creek and judging from the
tracks in the mud, there is a trail riding outfit
that uses this area too.
On our outing it was rather secluded and
we enjoyed the privacy the woods offered.
This was car camping with larger tents, chairs,
a fire pit, and other creature comforts. Much
different than backpack camping where you
have to skimp on everything to control pack
weight.

This past Memorial Day Weekend a TOPO-
GEAR group camped at the end of Forest Road
near Marienville, PA. The trek to this area is an
unimproved dirt road, a few potholes here and
there, but no problem for a 4x4 or truck.
You may be able to drive a regular car but
you'd have to take it very slow. The road comes
to a dead end at a gate 2.5 miles from the main
road. There is an open area just before the gate.
Here you will find several camp sites under the
pines along the banks of Spring Creek. This is a
shady area, not much sun light gets in; nice in
hot weather but otherwise cool and damp.

Start 20-25 Charcoal, preheat 10-12 quart Dutch Ovenj
4-6 Italian sausage (or sausage meat)
4 chicken breasts (boneless cubed)
1 lb shrimp, raw (deveined and tails removed)
1 large cooking onion, chopped
2 Cups rice (uncooked)
28 oz can tomatoes, chopped + liquid
2 red bell peppers, chopped (one may be hot depending on preference)
2-3 tbsp Cajun spice (depending on preference)
2-3 shakes Franks red hot sauce, (depending on preference)
1 tsp salt
Chicken broth (aprx 56 oz)
Pepper to taste
Once Dutch Oven is hot, take sausage out of casing and break it up, brown
in Oven (May have to add a small amount of olive oil if meat is too lean).
Remove browned meat and set aside, leaving the drippings in the DO.
Brown cubed chicken, then remove and set aside with browned sausage.
Again leave drippings in DO. Sauté onions and peppers until onions are
translucent and peppers are soft. Drain off any excess oil. Add both meats
back in.
Add tomatoes, rice, and spices. (Hold back the shrimp) Add enough broth
to allow the rice to absorb. You may need to add more during cooking.
Once everything is in the DO, take 2/3 of the coals and place them in a
circular pattern on the lid, leaving 1/3 of the coals under the bottom.
Cook for 1 hour check several times stirring and adding additional broth
as needed. After 40 minutes add the shrimp and stir. Cook 10 minutes more.
Dutch Oven Heat "Three Up-Three Down Rule
It is better to place more coals or briquettes on the lid of the Dutch
oven. Many Dutch oven cooks follow a simple three up, three down rule.
Measure the diameter of your Dutch oven and add 3 to estimate how many
briquettes to place on the lid. Take 3 away from the diameter measurement
and this is the number you need to place under the Dutch oven.
If you have a 12 inch Dutch oven. 12 + 3 = 15. Place 15 briquettes on the lid
of your oven.
12 - 3 = 9. Place 9 briquettes underneath your oven.
This should give you an approximate oven temperature of 350° F. Each two
additional coals will give you about 20° F more heat

Distance:
24.65 miles (plus side trips)
Elevation:
+/- 2650 ft
Trailhead
From the I-40 between Kingman and Flagstaff, take the Seligman exit and head north towards Peach Springs. Be sure to fuel up in Seligman. Pro-
ceed 37 to the Indian Road 18 and turn right, continuing 64 miles to the trailhead parking lot.
Highlights
Absolutely, the best hiking experience I have ever had! Waterfalls, steep canyons, caves, mules, did I
say waterfalls!
The Havasupai Indian Reservation is not part of the Grand Canyon National Park, but you cannot
tell that from the scenery. From your very first step at the trailhead parking lot until your return at
the end of your trip, you will be swiveling your head side to side to take it all in.
The water is a turquoise blue/green and the perfect way to refresh the tired legs and back after the 12
mile trek down to the campground. If you are as lucky as we were, you'll get a break from the sum-
mer heat. The temps were about 20 degrees below normal the weekend we made this trip.
Trail Description
The parking lot at the trailhead is stunning to say the least. It is perched more than 1000 feet above
the valley floor and provides one of the best vistas of the trip.
The trail starts with a steep descent down the face of the box canyon to the valley floor by way of a
series of switchbacks. If you have bum knees like I do from years of basketball, you will feel this de-
scent! Be on the lookout for the approaching mules. They have the right-of-way, and won't stop to
wait for you to move to the side
.
Once you reach the valley floor, the trail bends to the north and follows the wash for 8 miles into the
Indian town of Supai. Along the way, the canyon walls draw closer and the surroundings become
more grand. You get a sense for the true size of the canyon walls when then tower hundreds of feet
straight up as you make your way down the canyon.
There is more shade in this narrow section of trail. The sun doesn't have the angle to penetrate the canyon and it helps to keep temperatures
down. In this slot section ( which starts at about mile 7), you really need to watch for the mule packs. As they approach, move to the canyon wall
side and not the cliff side. The wrong move could be disastrous as these animals move through.
At the end of the slot section, it opens and the Havasu Creek comes in from the right side. As you cross the open expanse, following the trail as it
curves to the left, you will hear the water for the first time. It comes into view as you enter the heavier vegetation. The town of Supai is close. You
will follow the irrigation channel into Supai.
Don't expect Supai to look like a town. There isn't much, but the views are really cool. The sandstone spires off to
your left, above the small ranch properties will tell you that you have arrived. The trail at this point is actually the
roads that connect the ranches. Make your way to the heli-pad and the town square. There is a restaurant on the left
and the general store is on the right.
Stop by the general store to buy a post card to send home. It has to be mailed at the post office which is closed on
the weekends. If you plan to leave before Monday, find a trusting local and pay them to mail it for you. That's what
we had to do. The Supai Post Office is the only one is the country that still moves the mail by mule. It's the only
way to get in or out of Supai with the exception of hiking it or going by helicopter.
New Falls
Follow the trail through town as it leads past a few more ranch properties and begins the descent along the creek to
the new falls (yet to be named). The new falls are just above the old Navajo Falls that were destroyed two years ago by the flood. The pool below the
falls is deep enough for the crazies in each group to make the jump from the falls.
6
Havasu Falls
Continue down the trail. About a 1/4 mile from the new falls is Havasu
Falls. Don't worry, you can't miss it! You will hear the roar of the water as
you approach and the falls will come into sight on your right side. The trail will
lead you along the left side above the falls and descends to a shelf above the
pristine pool. Make a right and follow the short trail down to the pool or con-
tinue on the main trail another 1/8 mile to the campground.
The Campground
The campground is long and relatively narrow and fills the flat area between the
two canyon walls guarded by the Havasu Creek which splits as you enter the
campground. There are tons of great spots, some for a single tent and other
areas for a small group of tents. It's first come, first serve so try to get there
early.
The Fern Spring is on the left as you make our way through the campground. The water is cold and refreshing and can be consumed without filter-
ing. I filtered it the first day but took it straight from the pump the rest of the trip.
The campground also has port-o-potties at both ends but they are closed some times. I'm
not sure what the schedule is, not sure if anyone does! It was closed on Friday but open the
rest of the weekend.
MOONEY FALLS
As you reach far end of the campground, the trees thin out and the lower can-
yon comes into view. It's just a short walk to the first view of Mooney Falls
which are 196 feet tall and nearly twice as high as Niagara Falls. The falls are
massive and you can hear the water as it plummets over the falls, crashing into
the pool below.
Getting down to the falls can be a bit treacherous. The descent starts with a short section through a cave,
then out the other side to the cliff side. There are chains that allow for an easier down climb and most of
the way is a series of steps. It can be slippery when wet. The last 10 feet of the descent is down a ladder
which had a broken step when we were there. But once you're down the reward is breathtaking. Mooney
Falls towers above the pool and sprays mist in all directions for hundreds of feet. You can walk out to-
wards the falls quite a way and the water stays about knee deep.
Heading downstream from Mooney Falls includes a series of small cascade falls and some deeper
pools. Be sure to look back upstream, there are some great pictures to take!
7
We turned around at this point. One of the members of our group said
that the trail is covered like this for a good stretch as you continue to
make your way down to Beaver Falls. If you are following our GPX
track, you will turn around here and make your way back up to camp.
Trail Notes
This is a must do trip for anyone that likes the outdoors, likes to hike or backpack, or just wants to see some of the most breathtaking views you'll find
anywhere.
The hike down wasn't really that bad, though I was sick when we started which made for a long day. The hike out wasn't as bad as I thought either.
The last section is brutal. It's a straight forward march up the side of the mountain! Mules are the danger on this trip. You have to look behind you
often and listen for the sounds of their approach. One of the guys in our group saw a hiker get leveled by a mule from behind. As the mule passed, the
cooler strapped to his side clipped the hiker at the head level and knocked him out! He was listening to his iPod and didn't hear the mule coming.
You also have to be sure to move to the uphill side of the trail as they come through. Moving to the cliff side could be a recipe for disaster.
One last note: the Supai Post Office is the only one in the US that still moves the mail by mule. Stop at the general store and mail yourself one. I paid
someone that was staying until Tuesday to mail my postcard for me on Monday. I got it in Las Vegas on Wednesday! It has a really cool meter stamp
on it which makes for a great keepsake.

TOPOGEAR's Test Version of the Winning July Recipe
We toned our version down to create a less spicy version. The judges are a bunch
of light weights when it comes to spicy or spicy hot preparations. We saw some of
the ingredients and didn't want a biased opinion. We also could not find "Cajun"
Spice and used a substitute we found locally, Emerils' All Natural Bayou Blast.
This is also a 1/2 version of the original. This will easily serve 6 to 8 people. We
cooked this in a 10 inch X 4 inch deep Dutch Oven.
We used the 3 up, 3 down rule for heat found on page 4.
This version has a little spicy zing for us light weights. You can adjust that to your
taste by experimenting with several options we will note. We really enjoyed this
recipe, the flavor and variety of ingredients. Thank you Pat!
