HIKE ZACATECAS AND BEYOND
The logistics of a group camp got too complicated this year. Rucker, Portal, Rustler, all closed. No restrooms. No carpooling. Group meals could be a problem. Let’s just keep Rustler and Chiricahua Peak in mind for a later date.
So how about we meet at the fountain 9am for a stroll up the gulch and Zacatecas. Then we will take the old toll road to the next canyon over and do a little exploring. Might be interesting or not, but it will be some exercise. -John

BACKTRACK - Brown-Ramsey
We then returned back down to the old trough spring where we added a little variety by detouring back to Ramsey Canyon along the old road so popular with mountain bikers and of memory as the way that Lynn was brought out after breaking her arm. The last stretch along the Ramsey Canyon Road pavement brought us back to our vehicles parked in the open lot we started from. Reports from some of the large number of other hikers met along the way brought news that hikers were being kept from passing through the Ramsey Preserve only sporadically and not at all on the day of our hike, when two local residents reported hiking a loop similar to ours-- through the Preserve in the morning, taking the high connector trail over to Brown Canyon, and returning by the same old road that we took from the trough spring back to Ramsey below the Preserve. -Brad
