Garden Canyon

HIKE IN GARDEN CANYON
Join the Muleteam this Saturday for a hike on Fort Huachuca in the Huachuca Mountains starting in Garden Canyon and going up to Sawmill Canyon. This is a higher elevation hike and mostly uphill on primitive roads with pine woods and creek scenery. The hike will be about 6 miles roundtrip. Bring water and lunch. Back mid-afternoon. Meet Dec 1 at 9am by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain to carpool. Free, but gas donation is appreciated. Fort Huachuca does require an Access Badge for entry (see below). For more details contact John at 319-325-3605 or johnbroz1944@yahoo.com.

Please get your Access Badge before the day of the hike. Badges are issued free at the Visitor Control Center, which is located adjacent to the Van Deman or East Gate. You must have a driver's license, passport, or military ID to obtain the Badge. Badges are good for 30 days for visitors and one year for locals. The Control Center is open 24/7.

BACKTRACK - Mule Mtn Loop
Eight hikers and three dogs enjoyed nice weather and views. We went up Zacatecas Canyon and across the Ridge to the Locklin Trail and down. The Zacatecas Trail was in bad shape as was some of the trail across the Ridge. Most of that area had been burned in the recent fire. The Locklin Trail was in good shape and we stopped for water and snacks near the beginning and ate near the gate most of the way down. Doug filled us in on the fire which recently destroyed his and many other homes in Wyoming. It was reportedly started by a hunter’s campfire. -John B

SIDETRACK - Shirts
The final order for Muleteam denim shirts will be placed on Monday, Dec 3.
See details from the link below, and place your order by email or phone/text 520-224-4951.

A few shirts have been delivered to satisfied hikers. Doug, Carol & Larry ordered large size and are happy with the fit (Mine is loose the way I like it). As a free option your name is added on your shirt, or you can add 'Bisbee, AZ' (which seems to be a popular choice), or you can be creative and add anything short.

For shirt photos and more details see the post at http://muleteam.blogspot.com/2018/11/muleteam-shirts.html.
