May 5 - Echo Canyon

HIKE IN ECHO CANYON
Join the Muleteam this Saturday for a hike on a top scenic trail in the Chiricahua Mountains. It's an easy 4.3 miles total with a loop through amazing closeup rock formations and including the viewpoint at Massai Point. Bring water and lunch, but no dogs. Back late afternoon. Meet May 5 at 9am by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain to carpool (almost 2 hours each way). Free, but gas donation is appreciated. For more details contact Molly at 432-3902 or eeo.source@gmail.com.

BACKTRACK - Wildcat Canyon
16 ? hikers assembled at the courthouse. 15 hikers made it up to Todd Bogatay's road where there must have been a party going on as there were no parking spaces left (a bus crosswise blocking 4 spaces).15 hikers made it down to the bottom of the road. one hiker informed the leader that he was unable to go so slow and would finish the hike ahead of the group and walk home leaving 14 hikers in wildcat canyon. The group stayed relatively compacted and 14 hikers finished the hike. The trail was in terrible condition in places with fallen trees blocking the usual path. The place where we usually leave the canyon had undergone a catastrophe judging by the condition of the torn up dirt and rocks(almost as if a cow had tried to climb up there). There was lots of vegetation overgrowth. The leader regrets that he did not check out the trail and prune away the bushes and tree limbs. Hopefully, by the time for the hike to roll around again next year, everything will be fixed and a new route blazed to replace the torn up portion. Everyone got lots of exercise some of which was very different from the usual hike. Thanks for hiking with me. -Stephen
