Jocans, J.A. 1991 Journal South Fork Cave Creek, Chiricahua Mountains, Cochise Co. Arizona July 27 Scott's Needle House Fire [illegible] mammals: Lewis track chipmunk sp. - 15 Hog-nosed Skunk - 1 Apache Fox Squirrel - 12, good # Coati muntzii - 18° Big White-Tailed Deer - 2 Carr and Ramsey Canyons, Huachuca Mountains, Cochise Co. Arizona July 28 I arrived here last night after sunset via Portal-San Simon Rd to Interstate 10 W., to US Hwy 70, to US Hwy 92, which parallels the eastern base of the Huachucas Mountains. I first drove up Miller Canyon, the most southern of the 3 west side canyons with roads ascending them; but all obvious campsites were occupied. I then drove up Carr Canyon, the east canyon mouth. Well up the road I encountered someone listening for owls. He suggested trying the campground at the end of the road. This I did. I made camp at 22:15 en plein air. Hurriedly I put up my tent when it started raining at midnight. I arose at 05:10 this am., wolfed down a granola & some wheatsies and drove to my first trailhead. This was near the group (= SCA) camp one mile down the road from my camp at road's end. The trail takes off opposite the S. entrance of the group campground and heads uphill gently. Much of the high country of the Huachucas was burned about (LATE 1970s??) a decade ago, or maybe longer now. I walked (starting at 05:25) to first pocket of mostly undamaged forest, and finding no spring (I was looking for Comfort Spring), I returned to the car and to the trailhead near my camp. I started down this at 06:30.
