Day 21 - Destination Warren’s Deer Camp

     So, leaving Page this morning and heading for the Mogollon Plateau where my brother, Warren, is camping with some friends and hunting deer.  He has sent me several photos of the location and how he got there, but he has no idea how to get to this place from Flagstaff as everyone in the camp lives south of there.  Having headed south towards Flagstaff a couple of days ago, I know I have a rather dramatic drop off not far south that I am not really looking forward to.  I decided to use the phone app directions even though the instructions didn’t take me the way I thought they would.  Turns out I didn’t take the route that included the long 6% grade but did have some other hills.  It also turned out to be about 30 miles further than I needed to go, thus I was later getting to Flagstaff than anticipated.  A few interesting twists and turns in Flagstaff, including a short stint on I-40, but then I was quickly on my way back into the forest.  Somehow I got directions mixed up and then I got a call from Warren.  Using Find My Friends, he told me I was on the wrong side of Mormon Lake and he talked me into camp.

     Met a few of his friends on arrival and the rest as they drifted in from hunting.  Very nice group and everyone seems to get along well.  I tried to keep a low profile as this is usually an all-male trip.  Besides, I had a lot of reading and writing to catch up on and figuring out how dry camping works in Nohana.
