HIKE TO PATIO PEAK (a.k.a. BEER CAN HILL)
Join the Muleteam this Saturday for a local hike from Yuma Trail in Warren through Gold Gulch and by Gold Hill to a distinctive peak in the southern Mule Mountains. The hike goes up and down trails and an old mining road. Total distance is about 6.4 miles with a challenging uphill, rocky section and 1200 ft. elevation gain. Have lunch by the “patio” on top and enjoy a view of Bisbee from a different angle. Dogs welcome. Bring water and poles if you use them. Free. Back mid afternoon.
Meet at the old Bisbee courthouse fountain January 20 by 9:00 a.m. to carpool or follow to the trailhead. For more information contact Sandy at 520-353-5124 or slajudice@yahoo.com.

BACKTRACK - Slavin Gulch
Nice weather and spectacular views made for a great hike. One canine companion, Badger, accompanied 16 humans up and back along Slavin Gulch. Hikers saw a small sample of rock art hidden on the under face of a large boulder near the trail and attempted to land small stones on the top of another large boulder before passing onward towards the mine site. A few hikers braved climbing up the steep slope along an old wooden mine sluice where interesting minerals were littered in the mine waste. - Carol
