MULETEAM ASCENDS MOUNT BALLARD
Join the Muleteam this Saturday to hike to the highest point in the Mule Mountains, west of the 'divide' with outstanding views of Bisbee, Mexico and the Huachuca Mountains. This is a natural path with several steep sections - about 3.4 miles total. Side trip to Fissure Peak possible. If snow falls on the mountain before the hike, come prepared with boots and poles. Bring water and snack or lunch. Back early afternoon. Meet Dec 28 at 9am by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain to carpool. Free. For more details contact Sandy at 353-5124 or slajudice@yahoo.com.

BACKTRACK - The Cross
Fourteen people and four dogs took the annual pre-Christmas hike to the Bisbee Cross. It was a beautiful day and -as always- the view to downtown Old Bisbee was incomparable. As usual on this casual hike, about half of the group went their own way when we got back to Brewery Gulch and the rest continued on to the City Trail for a view of the town from another angle. Most of us regrouped at High Desert Cafe for a light lunch. All in all, a very pleasant day of moderate hiking and socializing. A classic reason why the Muleteam is such a great unorganized organization. -Doug 

I took the group photo and another is at muleteam.shutterfly.com.
