POTLUCK ONLY
Remember potlucks? If you haven't been hiking for a while why not meet us after the hike for the potluck only? The hikers should be back by 11:30, and we'll meet at the covered picnic area near the San Pedro House. Plates, cups, etc. will be provided.

BACKTRACK - Natural Bridge
A group of nine cheerful, happy Muleteamers journeyed to the Chiricahua National Monument Saturday for the 4.8 round trip hike to the viewpoint of the Natural Bridge. The entire hike was scenic with the rock pinnacles always in view. We all ate lunch at the overlook after having some nice rests on the way, including in the shade at Picket Park. One of the veteran hikers to this area told us the Monument campground was just 1/4 mile past the arch by bushwhacking. He would not go back that way to prove it to us, so we all hiked back down the trail and met at the end in the shade near the parking area.
