BACKTRACK - San Pedro
Saturday's hike at the San Pedro River was enjoyed by 17 hikers and four dogs. Due to previous heavy rain earlier in the week some of the trails running along the river were muddy, thus too slippery to traverse. Therefore, the group hiked the road on the southwestern edge of the field. Taking the wash back towards the river hikers walked a short distance to Black Phoebe pond where they encountered a group of bird watchers with nothing left to watch due to the approach of the Muleteam. A few brave hikers continued on through the wash towards the river, not believing John Broz's statement that it was impassable. The failed attempt to reach the river did nothing other than weigh down boots with sticky mud. The group then hiked north under the highway along a high/dry trail to a beautiful lunch spot overlooking the river. Ravens, red tailed hawks, a garter snake and a tarantula were spotted.  -Carol
