HIKE FROM GALENA TO GOLD GULCH RACETRACK
Join the Muleteam this Saturday at the earlier time of 8 AM for a socially-distanced, off-pavement route through Warren. We begin by walking the native-vegetation trail through the park adjoining the Galena neighborhood. We then take a footpath into Warren, connecting to the old railroad trackbed which we will follow south. Skirting the ballpark, we will continue on to Gold Gulch Road, where we will check out an old motor racetrack before heading back the way we came. Meet May 2 at 8 AM by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain. Free, but there will be no carpooling from the courthouse.
The route is mostly flat and easy, around 5 ½ miles, but there is little shade. Bring water and your mid-morning lunch or snack. We should be back not long after noon. Dogs ok with leash. For more information contact Elizabeth Bernstein, ebernstein2001@yahoo.com, 520-432-5902.

BACKTRACK - Zacatecas & Beyond
14 friends & 2 pups hiked up the Gulch and Zacatecas to the toll road to points unknown.
What we learned….. If you neglect to pay the toll, they neglect to maintain the road.
What we saw…. Hills Canyons Purple verbena all over the burn area Lotta rocks
A passable trail probably made by cows Some water still in the creek
A cement stock tank irresistible to Big Dog Cow pies Traces of the road
Lunch spot…. Landscaping by flash flood, but big oaks provided welcoming shade – so perfect.
Politically correct? Yeah we socially distanced and observed the campfire ban.
All good. -John
I took the group photo, and all other photos are at muleteam.shutterfly.com.
