As an interesting side note...Tonto in spanish means "dummy". Nice to know that the Lone Ranger thought so highly of his best friend. (lol)

Wow who would have thought..... Hope somebody on here that is fluent in Spanish could verify this as right or wrong..... but then again neither the Lone Ranger or Tonto was Spanish so it could just be a coincidence
Still Tonto national forest is a beautiful place and BIG and i need to get out there more often.....those pictures are beautiful.
