favored with everything that man
needs" Judge Clarke declared. "The
finest trout fishing, hunting and
camping in the Uiited States Of
America is found right here in the
White mountains Of Arizona. A sum

Diamond Creek, Paradise Creek
and all the creeks on the south slope
of the White mountains drain into the
Roosevelt reservoir. The rivers on
the north slope drain into the Little
Colorado and then into the Colorado.
The spirit of vacation abounds every
where. We stopped near the little
town of Greer and for a mile about
there every creek was alive with fish,
just one creek after another and all
we'll stocked. You can catch from 20
to 40 fish a day, depending entirely
on your ability, and conscience.
Il found | knew very little about
the White mountains when l visited
the north slope this summer. A won
derful camp site in a little meadow
with trees and grass all along the
creeks and rivers. They were the
first alders l found in my more than
40 years in Arizona A botanist who
lives near Greer told me there are
more than 400 varieties of wild flow
ers growing there. They form a
coast of beautiful colors for land
rich in it's beauty. | never saw such
harmony and beauty in a myriad Of
colors All kinds of berries timothy
grass, delicious wild gooseberries and
all kinds of fish and game.
You can buy fresh milk, vege-
tables and butter daily and it is just
a short run to Springerville where
they are always glad to see Phoenix
visitors. They are trying to get good
roads to encourage travel.
up there is the last habitat of wild
turkeys in great abundance. Lone
Wolf, the Indian painter, told me that
wild turkeys were so plentiful that
they could be shot at a distance of ten
Ieet, ana you can get close enough
to photograph them.
1t is the most restful place in the
world. Lie down beneath a clear sky
with a cool breeze brushing through
the trees and the ripple of the creek
to lull you to sleep. Wake up in the
morning feeling like a new man and
the bracing winds fill you with new
love for your state and a sense of
pride that you live in Arizona"
