Plastic soda or water bottles make great inexpensive water bottles. A 2-liter bottle fits nicely into the side pocket of most backpacks.
Cooking over a fire
If you like to cook over an open fire, there is nothing like a small rubber hose to encourage reluctant wood, or coax a small ember to life. Start with a 3" piece of 3/8" aluminum or copper tubing. Slip an 18" piece of rubber tubing over the metal and you are ready for action. No more bending over with your face next to the fire trying to blow at just the right spot. One caution! Don't breathe in through the hose.

This adventure begins when we leave Route 87 onto Forest Road 201. This narrow road is spectacular. Most of the route is on ridges or ledges. The panorama offers abandoned mines and lush vegetation. We start our hike at nearly 6000'. The summit of Mt. Peely, which is more than 7000' high, is at the end of a 1.5-mile trail. The first .5 miles is an easy hike, the next mile rises 1000' and offers impressive views of the Mogollon Rim, Mt. Ord and the rugged Mazatzals themselves.
