Heart of Rocks

 HIKE TO THE "HEART OF ROCKS"

Join the Muleteam this Saturday at the earlier time of 8:30 AM for a hike in the Chiricahua National Monument to a scenic area of unique natural rock formations. This is a 7.3-mile hike with hills and moderate elevation gain. Bring water and lunch but no dogs. Back late afternoon. Meet Dec. 4 at 8:30 AM by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain to carpool (almost 2 hours each way). Free, but gas donation is appreciated. Alternatively, hikers may meet at the Echo Canyon parking area at 10:30 AM. For more details contact Molly at 208-720-7518 or eeo.source@gmail.com. 

When we get to the Echo Canyon trailhead, we may shuttle a car or two to the Massai Point parking area. That will enable drivers to get a lift back to Echo Canyon at the end, and then return to Massai Point for their passengers. This will shorten the hike a bit at the end.

BACKTRACK - Bisbee Stair Sights

The weather was perfect for the Bisbee Stair Sights hike with 13 people. Our general route was Laundry Hill, Roberts Ave and over to check out the Women's Club auction. Then Harry described his mural and showed us his bees - up to High Road and to the end of Opera, over to the Buddha shrine, the outside art gallery on the Broadway stairs, the angel sculptures, Fred Albert's mosaic walls and lunch with a view on Castle Rock. Lots of photos were taken, and nearly everyone discovered something new.

Curtis took the group photo, and Jacquita took most of the others at muleteam.shutterfly.com
