CARR HOUSE FAMILY VISIT & HIKE
Join the Muleteam this Saturday April 29th to be treated to a free personalized educational presentation by Mike Foster, Muleteam old-timer and host of Carr House Information Center in the Huachuca Mountains. Mike will share one of his video presentations and the many exhibits of the historical, geological, and ecological highlights of the mountains. After our time with Mike at Carr House, he will lead us on a short and easy nature and history hiking trail. This will be a very unusual Muleteam day, with families and children welcome. There are picnic facilities and natural and cultural history displays and games. Meet at 9:00am on April 29th at the Courthouse fountain for carpooling. Take Route 80 to 92 from the Bisbee Circle toward Sierra Vista, then turn on Carr Canyon Road for 2.2 miles to Carr House. For questions, contact Mike at sarjuesos@gmail.com.

BACKTRACK - Wood Canyon Plus
Another beautiful day hiking in the Mule Mountains! Leaders Deb, Susan and Lindsay got creative, offering a variety of hike distances. Twenty-three hikers arrived at the Wood Canyon/Guy Trail* intersection after walking up Tombstone Canyon from the Iron Man. Susan led a group across Guy to Locklin, and back down Tombstone. The rest continued up Wood to the Ridge Trail, where Rex parted ways and turned left toward Juniper Flats. After the short walk to Three Points, Jay turned left to head toward the Gulch on the "Bisbee CounterSpin"; the rest turned right toward the Locklin Trail, where Deb led a group back down to Tombstone. Those who remained headed along the Ridge (with all but two zipping up the two humps for an extra elevation gain!). We met back on the Ridge Trail and slid down the scree to the City Trail. The majority of those left exited the trail at High Road and descended the "Iceman" stairs, but Barbara and one other stayed on the City Trail to the end, descending to Brewery Gulch. (If you're keeping count, there were a grand total of SIX routes hiked -- !) Thanks to all for joining us -- Lindsay, Deb and Susan
*For those who don't know it, the Guy Trail is a nice short connector. Susan's mnemonic for finding the Guy Trail from the Locklin side is to count the check dams as you ascend: after the eighth, the Guy Trail goes off to the left, while the Locklin Trail goes to the right.
