HIKE FROM JUNIPER FLATS
Join the Muleteam this Saturday for a local adventure with a mystery destination off Juniper Flats. The hike starts out downhill, with a 700-foot elevation gain on the way back. Total mileage out and back is about 3 miles, with an option for further distance. Footing is on a dirt road and a decent trail. You may want a flashlight or headlamp for optional explorations. Bring water and a snack, and poles if you'd like. Dogs welcome. Back by late morning. Free.
Meet Nov. 13 at 9:00 AM by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain. From there we will carpool, AWD/4WD vehicles preferred. For more information contact Deb at 802-777-1499 or debvanschaack@gmail.com.

BACKTRACK - Brown Canyon
Brown Canyon was its usual shady delight that we enjoy every autumn. It's an excellent hike when the weather can still be very warm. Twelve hikers and two dogs set out, with 1 turning back rather soon, 3 returning after hiking to "the trough", while the remaining 8 had their picnic lunch at the incredible view spot. A hardy three continued on up, one of them even going on solo for a while. Happily, everyone came back down to the old ranch house and the parking lot with no problem. It was blissfully uneventful and everyone seemed to agree that the day was lovely. -- Laura

SIDETRACK - Beaver Survey
The Beaver Survey at the San Pedro sounded very interesting, and I thank those of you who contacted me about it. It turned out, however, that the Watershed Management Group had very few slots available for Nov. 20. We will therefore be scheduling a regular (but new to us!) hike that day -- thanks, Sandy!
