I just looked at the map Tom linked to and the site I've referred to looks like 
it has the same "offroad motorized Dispersed camping access as FM. From the 
Google map imagery it does appear we can park within 300' of the road and still 
have room to set up. Looks like Dick H & will be planning a trip up there to 
recon after the mirror lab trip. If anyone else wishes to go with us, let me 
know.

The Motor Vehicle Use Map for Coconino National Forest, dated May 2013, is 
available as a PDF file at this site.

This image is my annotated cutout from the South Half map.  The limit for 
driving off of most Forest Service roads, including FSR #229, is 300 feet.  
They call this "off-road motorized dispersed camping."

How far are we are driving from the centerline of FSR #229?  This Google Earth 
image overlays four 300-foot bars, and shows where we set up.  We have been 
driving about 100 feet beyond the limit.
