HIKE BISBEE RIDGE TO JUNIPER FLATS
Join the Muleteam this Saturday for THE BEST views of Old Bisbee! This 6.33 mile round-trip hike starts up Clawson Ave. to High Road and then on to the City Trail and Ridge Trail. The most challenging section is climbing up to the Ridge Trail, where some light rock scrambling is required. You will be rewarded with the views, which get better and better as you ascend! We will hike up and down the ridges overlooking town and lower Wildcat Canyon all the way to Juniper Flats. We'll eat lunch at the pagoda and enjoy the view. The return is ALL downhill, walking on Juniper Flats Rd. to West Blvd. and back down to Tombstone Canyon. Bring water, lunch, walking poles optional, dogs welcome. Back early afternoon.
Meet Jan. 15 at 9 a.m. by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain. Free. For more details contact Susan Mayes at 610-220-5287.

BACKTRACK - Mural Hill
This hike was originally scheduled for New Year's Day, but the weather was lousy: a rare Muleteam cancellation. A week later, one good dog and twelve hikers set off for "Mural Hill: Redux" from the end of OK Street. One had to turn back due to a prior commitment, but eleven of us enjoyed the weather and company (both good), reaching the top in two hours (and back in one). It was gusty, but we enjoyed the fossils and great views. Weren't we surprised when we checked the register and learned that four people who had met at the fountain on New Year's Day toughed it out: their entry read "Crazy weather -- snow, sleet, rain, wind!" A tip of my hat to them, I'm glad they made it. Thanks to everyone for another great day in the Mules -- Lindsay
PEGGY SCANLON MEMORIAL
Eleven of us Muleteamers attended the Celebration of Life for Peggy, joining friends and family from near and far who gathered to remember this remarkable woman. Several in our group shared their memories of Peggy, reminiscing not only about "official" Muleteam events, but also about offshoot groups like the Fugarwi's. It was a moving and meaningful day. -- Elizabeth
