Slavin Gulch

HIKE UP SLAVIN GULCH
Join the Muleteam this Saturday, January 13, for a hike in the Dragoon Mountains. The trail is a rocky path and old mining road with huge bolder formations nearby, along a great sand-bottomed creek. It’s steady uphill to some old mining ruins and down the same way for a total of approximately 6.8 miles. Bring water, lunch and maybe a walking stick. Dogs are welcome. Back late afternoon.
Meet January 13 at 9am at the Old Bisbee Courthouse fountain to carpool (over an hour each way). Free, but gas donation is appreciated. Alternatively, hikers may meet us at about 9:40am at the beginning of Middlemarch Road (off Route 80 north of Tombstone). For more information, contact Carol at (413) 667-8760 or chandlercarolpsk@gmail.com.

BACKTRACK - Perimeter Trail
20 Mule Teamsters set out on a very frosty morning.  So chilly, in fact, that Larry took the group photo right there in the parking lot.  We looked rather comical, as if we were going out ice fishing.  We actually managed to stay together-ish on the way, and had our lunch at the top.  The weather, by the way, turned out to be perfect for hiking.  A few individuals had stashed a getaway car at the Miller Canyon parking lot down below, and so created their own alternative return hike.  The rest of us rambled and ambled, and stumbled and bumbled the way back from whence we came.  This hike, strangely, seems to be a lot of uphill both ways!  Not fair.  There were, however, many comments on how beautiful the hike was.  Submitted by Laura (the substitute leader, along with Sara)
