Mule Pass Road

HIKE OLD MULE PASS ROAD

Join the Muleteam this Saturday for a hike on the old Mule Pass Road. Starting from the Divide, we will hike downhill first, about 1.5 miles to where we meet up with Highway 80. We will return the way we came for a round-trip distance of 3 miles and elevation gain of just over 400'. The hike is part wild and part residential, but there is good footing throughout. The road was the original track over Mule Pass, improved for vehicles in 1913-14. Leashed dogs are welcome (coyote and javelina have been seen on this route, and there are dogs and livestock at some of the residences). We will return to the Divide mid-morning. From there, those who'd like to hike farther or tackle some more elevation gain can walk up and back on Juniper Flats Road.

Meet Oct. 30 at 9 AM by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain. From there we will drive to the Divide. Bring water and snack. Free. For more details, text Lindsay at 954-770-2221.

BACKTRACK - Laura's Loop

The 2021-2022 Muleteam got off to a spectacular start on October 23, 2021. We had an excellent turn-out of 21 hikers and 3 dogs, with about 5 newbies. Everything went perfectly. Blue sky, warm weather with a soft breeze. The 4-mile trail was a wonderful introduction for the newbies to the scenic Mule Mountains. It was great exercise, but we took frequent breaks, and no one was stressed. In fact , there were raves all-around for such a fantastic experience and a hard-to-beat beginning to our 22nd Season. - Doug

TECHNICAL MATTERS

I believe that many of us are now receiving multiple email notificationswhen these blog posts are published.

In previous years, the service which sent notices of these posts to our inboxes was Feedburner, a Google product. Earlier this year Feedburner informed us that it would discontinue that service in July. For that reason over the summer we began with a new service, Follow.it.

It appears that Feedburner has not in fact stopped sending emails. I am now receiving two notifications of each post, one that says "This email was sent by follow.it," and one that says "Email delivery powered by Google." 

Going forward, it is the Follow.it feed that we will be relying on. I don't know when the Google feed might end, nor do I know of any way that new subscribers can sign up for that one. I also have access to the list of subscribers for Follow.it but not for Google. 

If you are receiving emails from both sources and no longer wish to do so, my recommendation would be to unsubscribe from the "powered by Google" emails.
